When you say "dagger-like" I think like an ice pick, which is not what I envision. But we may mean the same thing. Rather like the image below, with the fingers away on the down thrust and right into the thoracic cavity via the neck/shoulder joint. Nothing but meat to stop you. This would be difficult with a longer sword.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
