ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kaiken (dagger)

A kaiken is a little knife that was used in old Japan. It is shaped like a small sword with a very pointy blade. People would carry it hidden in their clothes and use it as a weapon if they needed to protect themselves. But it was also used for other things like cutting food or opening letters. It's like a little superhero knife that is always ready to help when needed!
