-Knives. Just a waste of a slot.

I'm now gonna cry in a corner. You meanie! *caresses his abyssal dagger* Has the meanie been mean to you? Awww, my poor dagger...

Edit: Ok, fun and games aside, the dagger is a nice quick and rush weapon. Doesn't need too much stamina, is very quick, which is actually very useful against wolves and regular fulings. I know, other weapons might do the same thing, but they are kinda unwieldy.

Especially my beloved atgeir, and that is waaaay faster than those stupid sledges... ;)
