It just doesn't have the power of the Dark One's Dagger Only problem with that statement is that the Fake Dagger (which I am assuming that it is) cut the Dark One. It has pretty much been said that the ONLY weapon that can touch the Dark One is the Real Dagger. Com'n, Hooks left hook is still a hook and can cut and puncture people. But the only time it actually drew blood from Rumple was in New York, when he was stripped of all his magic. The other times it ended plunged into his chest, not even a drop. Same with Robin Hoods arrow (From Season 2), and I'm pretty sure that we've seen at least one sword run through him somewhere along the line.

No, The Fake DO Dagger will NOT cut Rumple, or at least will not draw blood from him. I am now heavily leaning towards the grand performance by Rumple, especially convincing knowing that he wanted no part of confronting Ingrid. Hmcooper4 make sense;  anything can cut rumple. Watch the episode when Prince Charming and Rumple dueled in the infinite forest. He cut his face with his sword. It can draw blood, it just that rumple has magic to heal himself, heck even the rat who bit him during the episode of "apprentice" caused minor damage that made him drop his dagger which enabled Anna to take it. Lmao I bet any steel made for cutting are far more sharper than a mouse's teeth :). In regards to arrow, again he probable used magic. I think that a strike that is unpredicted catches rumple off guard and off guard means the magic that repels physical damage is probably off. Take note of when he knew robin hood's arrow will chase him, he probably had magic activated before it hits, but during sword duel he was toying with David so when he was unexpectedly cut, he bled.
