Kogatana

The Kogatana is Dracule Mihawk's weapon. It is a dagger pendant shaped like a cross that is worn on his neck.

Usage
Mihawk says he uses this weapon only to defeat weak opponents, and is the smallest known blade he has. Mihawk uses it is as more of an accessory than a weapon. Though it appears to have no value, in the hands of Mihawk, it was able to defeat Zoro with the slightest bit of pressure, and was able to stab close to his heart. He has also been shown eating with it. Otherwise it is an ordinary knife, so bland and small that Mihawk enjoys demonstrating his skill with it.


 * Kogatana Hitotsuki (小刀一突): Mihawk's one named attack with this blade, which came from the games Unlimited Adventure and Gigant Battle, he stabs the opponent with the pocket knife. It was first seen used against Zoro's Tora Gari, who got stabbed near the heart.
