Dictionary definitions seem fairly similar:

'Stabbing weapon with short pointed and edged blade' (Oxford)
Obviously the item in question IS a knife, but to me it goes without saying that it's a dagger also.
So either designation is technically correct in my view. |
This "piece" has one cutting edge. Therefore it is a knife, not a dagger.
