The Loki Knife in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

The loki knife is an Asgardian knife that can stab through a human’s plate armor and penetrate their skin. It can also be thrown further than a normal blade. It is also designed with a dedicated finger hole for added control and precision.

The Asgardian knife has been used in the MCU since the first Avengers movie. It is most often seen in the hands of Loki, the god of mischief. He uses it as a weapon and a metaphor for love. He even compared it to a dagger in the Disney+ series Loki Episode 3, during an argument with Sylvie Laufeydottir.

Tom Hiddleston, the actor who plays Loki in the MCU, has a long history with daggers. The trickster has a passion for the blades that dates back to Norse mythology and comic books. He has revealed that his iconic dagger flip from 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok was a result of improvisation on set. He said that he came up with the action when he ran out of choreography and didn’t want to stand around idle.

However, despite what many fans believe, Loki does not hate Thor. He may have upset the thunder god, but that doesn’t mean he hates him or wants to kill him. If he truly hated Thor, he would have tried to stab him and destroy the Asgardians as a whole in Infinity War. That is why he faked his death so that he could come back and try again.
