Dirks are classified as long thrusting daggers, and they have one bladed edge. The Highland Dirk in particular is a continuuation of the Rondel Dagger, which comes in either single edged or doubled edged form and have been observed to be up to 20 inches in length. Yet it's still a dagger.

Dagger is the right word to use here, I think. A knife would be much smaller and more for utility than a dagger.
