What was the weapon used to injure Major Rathbone?

Explanation:
During the Ford’s Theatre attack, Booth shot Lincoln, but in the struggle that followed he stabbed Major Rathbone with a knife (dagger). So the weapon used to injure Rathbone was a knife. This distinguishes Rathbone’s injury from Lincoln’s death, which was caused by a gun. Poison and a spear were not involved in this event.
