History:

It began during build 119, where RotMG Dev Chedd stated:

He stated it jokingly, but the player population took it and ran, making dozens of forum posts and going as far as trying to sell dirks for top items. At one point, 8 dirks became the equivalent of 1 Defense potion; making them highly sought after.

Furthermore, Chedd had to address the issue publicly in this thread, where he stated:

As funny as it has been to watch the increasing fervor and rampant speculation about dirk rarity in these forums, Iā€™m becoming worried that some poor soul might actually get tricked into trading away things of great value in exchange for a dirk, so let me officially put a stop to the silliness: no, dirks are not becoming ultra-rare or ultra-valuable.

The root of this rumor seems to be this thread, where many of players were joking around. Rest assured, it truly was just a joke.

Cronus being the original poster in the first thread.

The initial Testing description of the Dirk of Cronus read: This legendary dagger was commissioned by the Realm denizens known as ASDF, BMJ, and REALNAPALM.

Dirk crazes started with those players back in Build 105 (or perhaps earlier) when they would swap Dirks into public bags dropped by events and some would say that the Cube God (or other event) actually dropped a Dirk.

Notes
The Dirk of Cronus, while an extremely powerful dagger (weaker than the Etherite Dagger), has a very short range (but farther than the Etherite Dagger). It should not be used as an all-purpose dagger, as there are many situations where its small range will hinder its use greatly, and the range from tiered daggers would benefit the player more. However, if the target can be approached safely, such as a cloaked Rogue, the use of the Dirk of Cronus is justified.

A lot of realmers use a much more powerful alternative(and more ready), the Etherite Dagger.
