Hmmmm... I found the parrying dagger, which requires an exotic weapon prof., which makes no sense to me at all. But not this. They are almost the same, except that you have to be fighting defensively, or using combat expertese to get a +1 to AC. The parrying dagger doesn't. So, I'm slightly bummed about both items. An exotic weapon prof, or losing 2 or more TAB for an additional +1 to ac... sounds harsh when you can just take two-weapon and use a shortsword instead or eke a shield feat to slam with a uckler... I think I saw a feat that allowed that someplace.<br/><br/>I do like th daggers and the style that it provides, just not enough to risk missing the target 3 out of 4 attacks.
