Steve Jackson Games Forums - View Single Post - Very minor question: How are knives classified for the purpose of pricing?

On B274, the pricing for fine-quality weapons prior to TL7 are described thusly:

Fencing- or sword-class weapons cost 4x normal.
Crushing and impaling weapons cost 3x normal.
Cutting weapons cost 10x normal.

So where do knives (and to a lesser extent daggers) fit in? Intuitively, they don't seem like "sword-class" weapons. But they can deal both cutting and impaling damage, so I'm not sure where to fit them otherwise. Is this specifically addressed somewhere?
