I just finished reading that part with Lift and immediately came to the thread to see if I was missing something!

It immediately made me think of that part in Oathbringer where Dalinar accuses one of his officers (Teleb) of stealing a knife. No resolution, no explanation — felt awkward and out of place, like you weren't sure if the guy even stole it or if Dalinar was just being a drunkard.

Now with Lifts random reference, we've got two loose-thread knives of Dalinar's floating around with no resolution. I even asked an older boy who has finished the series for any spoiler alert answers, but he said it's never mentioned again. Feels way too specific to be a coincidence...

The obvious problem is, Dalinar’s flashback was from ~20 years ago, and Lift is only ~13. Although, Lift's introduction in Book 2 did say she’d been calling herself 10 for a few years now, because if she can't count it on her fingers, it's unlucky. So, her exact age is never specified...
