Poinard
A poinard — a slender stabbing dagger — often touches secret enemies causing you unease, or suspicion of friends' unfaithfulness if you wield one. The dream may ask where a hidden, pointed threat is unsettling your mind, and whether you're being quietly attacked or turning that suspicion outward against people who may not deserve it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for poinard, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of some one stabbing you with a poinard, denotes that secret enemies will cause you uneasiness of mind.
If you attack any person with one of these weapons, you will unfortunately suspect your friends of unfaithfulness.
Dreaming of poinards, omens evil.
