Daggers and Knives


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

I've recently acquired a ratfolk boon, and I have a couple of questions:
1. Are daggers and knives different weapons? IRL I know they are but in PFS mechanically are they different?
2. If so Does a ratfolk tailblade count as a dagger or a knife for weapon focus.
3. For the riding rat, Would the statistics of a cavalier mount companion be as follows?

Dire rat companion level 1 (With giant template)
STR-14
DEX-15
CON-16
INT-2
WIS-12
CHA-4

2 feats- Light armor prof, another feat
2 skill points
combat trained + bonus trick

Bite 1d6+3, add disease at fourth level advancement. DC based off con. Does not use dex for swim and climb checks, or Attack rolls , no bonus for size to AC, Attack, or stealth.

2. I believe you would need Weapon Focus (tailblade), but per the tailblade description, feats or effects that apply to natural weapons can apply to the tailblade.


As far as daggers vs knives, I've generally understood them to be identical. Note that a tail blade, like other knifelike weapons, would NOT qualify.
