A bodkin is more polished version of a shiv. Where a shiv is generally made from whatever item a convict can sharpen and punch into a fellows back, a bodkin is created to be a weapon [from the get-go]. [Technically], a bodkin has no edged blade. Its sharp point is what gets the work done. [Originally], bodkins were created to punch through knight's armor. Perhaps due to this, it bears the stigma of being a weapon yielded by peasants, footpads and thugs.
