What if Bae is not the one who lets slip the information about the weapon to Hook anyway? I honestly do not see Bae doing that even in a weak moment. However I could see him telling someone he trusts completely and then they tell Hook.

That’s a possibility. Perhaps Baelfire told Tinkerbell about the dagger, and she divulged that information to Hook in a moment in weakness. We know Tink isn’t the most reliable secret-keeper, since she divulged the location of Peter’s hideout to Hook in the cartoon version.

More than ever, I’m now of the opinion that Baelfire wasn’t the only one who knew about the dagger. One of Hordor’s men might have survived and known about the Dark One’s dagger, and that information became more widely known than Rumple initially believed. Maybe Honora, the mute maid, drew a picture of the dagger before Rumple murdered her. We saw August had a picture of the dagger in The Return. How did he come by that knowledge/picture in the first place? Maybe the Blue Fairy. Maybe the author of Henry’s book. We know now Baelfire and Rumple were included in that storybook, so Henry probably read about the dagger and told Emma, David, Snow White about it. Also, Regina and Cora also all knew all about the dagger and how it worked. There are just so many possibilities.

ETA: After listening to the in-depth podcast of “Evil Queen” I realize Daniel made a good point. Did Captain Hook know Maleficent? He recognized her, even though she was undead. Hook said, “Love you in earth tones.” So, just maybe, after Hook arrived back in the EF from NL, Maleficent is the one who tipped Hook off about the Dark One’s dagger and let him know where to find Belle.
