How this is counted

Read from the passive tree in the game files (12 passives name Dagger; 27 more apply to One Handed Weapons). For each class we count the passives you can allocate with 15, 20 and 30 points from its start: every passive on the shortest path costs a point, and another class's start can't be walked through. One Handed Weapons passives also work with daggers but are shared with other weapons, so they only break ties. Ascendancy nodes count the points from the ascendancy start (8 points in total). Ranger and Huntress, and Witch and Sorceress, share a start, so their tree numbers are equal. Plan the path yourself in the passive tree planner.
