Dagger
A short blade drawn from leather, two quick slashes through the air, a throw sticking into a wooden post and a steel clatter on stone. Describe the dagger move you need and Morphic generates it clean.
- Draw, slash, throw, drop, scrape or parry, the dagger sound you put into words
- Made for the assassin in your stealth level who slips the blade out in the dark
- Each dagger take comes isolated, so it sits right on the hand move in your cut
Dagger sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Dagger unsheathed
A quick bright scrape from a leather sheath ending in a thin ring, for an assassin, a rogue or a sudden threat.
Two quick slashes
Two fast thin whooshes through the air, the light sound of a short blade striking out in a fight scene or a game.
Thrown into wood
A spinning throw that sticks into a post with a thunk and a quivering buzz, for a warning shot or a trick throw.
Dropped on stone
A bright clattering clang and two smaller bounces, for a blade knocked from a hand or a dagger let fall in surrender.
Scraped on stone
A thin gritty scrape of a tip dragged along a wall, a slow menacing sound for a dungeon, a cellar or a horror chase.
Short parry
A tight clink and a quick grinding scrape as a dagger turns a heavier blade aside, for a close quarters duel.

FAQs
What is a dagger sound effect?
Dagger sounds are the noises of a short double-edged blade: drawn from a sheath, slashed through air, thrown into wood, dropped on stone, scraped along a wall or used to parry. They are lighter and quicker than sword sounds.
Where can I get dagger sounds for a video?
Put the dagger move into words and Morphic generates it for your shot. You get the exact action on screen with no library digging, and every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one.
How do I make a custom dagger sound effect?
Choose the action and the surface, then generate it. A prompt like "a steel dagger dropped onto a stone floor, a loud bright clattering clang and two smaller bounces" gives a clean take, and you can change stone to wood or tile.
What is the difference between a dagger, a knife and a sword sound?
A knife sound usually means kitchen or utility work, cutting and sharpening. A dagger is a fighting blade, short and quick, with a thin bright ring. A sword is longer and heavier, so its swings are deeper and its clashes ring for longer.
Can I use these dagger sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Because each sound is generated for you, you also avoid the clip turning up in someone else's video.
Why does my dagger sound not sit right in the edit?
A sword-sized whoosh on a small blade is the usual cause. Keep dagger swings short and thin, trim long metallic tails and line the ring up with the moment the blade stops moving.
