Miks in his book shows a good variety of daggers (not being pugio!), some supposedly cut down from a damaged swordblade. Then there are the single edged knives of which a good few were found in Augsburg. These were mainly for utilitarian/domestic use but could really cause mayor grief in a fight. Military context.
