Sigil I like because of the connotations of the word, in its use as symbol. Cross-etymology gets us the concept of a symbol used as a knife.
See, I must admit I was actually rather disappointed to discover that the Sindarin word for dagger was sigil, partly because I have become so entirely disenchanted with all aspects of chaos magick. Sadly, I fear chaos magick has tainted to word sigil for me, though, in truth, I should not allow it to do so. It's a good word, in English and Sindarin, with many useful connotations.
