The Nordic Dagger comes from the Dragonborn add-on and is part of the Nordic weapon set crafted from steel and quicksilver. It deals 8 base damage, weighs 3.5 and is worth 115 gold.
It is a fine pick for stealthy characters who want a better sneak-attack tool than steel or orcish blades. It matches Nordic Carved Armor nicely.
