Trivia

 * The knife looks like a black Blood Knife, which is usually undyable.
 * The damage range of the knife (1-4) is intentionally the same damage range as a Dungeons and Dragons dagger (there expressed as 1d4).
 * This weapon is a reference to an audio skit made by the Dead Ale Wives, a comedy group. In the skit, which is about Dungeons & Dragons, one character proudly announces that he has such a knife - "It's got a plus nine against ogres!" Being dropped by the monster the Darkness is also a reference to the skit; when the mage "casts" magic missile against "the darkness". This skit was reproduced in the game Summoner by Volition and, more recently, by 8-bit Theater fans under the title 8-bit D&D.
