Note: The weapon doesn't have to be sharp, or even 1-handed. The exact rule is "Any melee weapon that a single-class Thief can use." So while Daggers, Short Swords, Long Swords & Katanas are the most popular Backstabbing tools, you can also use Clubs and Quarterstaves as well.

I don't know about Stalkers. They Backstab too, and a while ago I thought I heard someone say they loved using Valyger to Backstab with the Impaler, which is a spear--a weapon Single-class Thieves can't use. So do Stalkers not have that restriction? I know Fighter/Thieves do. I tried to have my F/T Backstab with a Bastard Sword, but it just said "Your weapon is unsuitable for backstab," and ignored the damage multiplier.
