Though would he go that far, because if she sees it and sees the name on it, she’ll know who he is, and I’m not so sure he’d want that. But if he wants her to start believing in all the fairytale stuff badly enough, maybe he’d be willing to give up his name?
His favor may have something to do with the dagger, but Emma still doesn’t know who Rumple/Gold really is, so how would she know that the dagger is actually his? Even if he’s trying to get her to believe in the curse and FTL, I doubt he’d just outright tell her his real name, because it would lead him to having to explain his backstory. He’s been trying to get Emma to form an alliance with him since she’s been elected sheriff, and now that Rumple/Gold finally has it I doubt he’d put it in jeopardy by giving Emma an excuse to write him off as crazy.

You know, since Henry hasn’t figured out who Gold is yet and in the preview it looks like Gold thinks that August is there to kill him I wonder if they will have Gold do something totally unexpected to try to get Emma to start believing.
Maybe Rumple/Gold is leaving breadcrumbs for her to follow up on his real identity? Or maybe he’ll ask her to take the dagger back as a way of trying to protect his identity? We still don’t know if he’s in Henry’s book, or what it even says about him.
If the whole ordeal with the dagger will be a way for Emma to find out about Gold’s real identity by herself, then I think the million dollar question of the day is:
Would Emma still want an alliance with him?
