The Dark One Dagger from Once Upon a Time is one of the most powerful and feared magical artifacts in the series, intrinsically tied to the dark sorcerer Rumplestiltskin. The dagger bears the name of its current Dark One and grants its wielder absolute control over that person, allowing them to command the Dark One’s immense dark magic. Rumplestiltskin, originally a desperate man seeking power to protect his son, becomes the Dark One after taking the dagger and stabbing its previous owner, binding himself to the curse of darkness.

Throughout the series, the dagger symbolizes the corrupting influence of power and the constant struggle between good and evil within Rumplestiltskin. While it grants near-limitless magical abilities, it also enslaves its bearer to darkness, making it both a source of strength and torment. The Dark One Dagger ultimately becomes central to the show’s narrative of redemption, love, and the price of power.
