Basically what I'm saying is, the daggers already work like I was suggesting they should, I Just didn't know about it before I made this thread. True, the "stun-lock" really doesn't work past Novice level armor, and thats how it should be. Unless you can be extremely accurate (or lucky) and aim...

Its not an afwul idea because it takes a lot of skill and practice, and it doesn't work every time. Long weapons have the advantage at longer range and vice versa. Same with environment. A dagger will have a huge advantage in a tight corridor. Its up to each of you to take advantage of your...

Thats exactly the sort of technique I'm talking about. So it seems that it is already possible, though I haven't managed to pull it off successfully. I always end up clumsily thrashing around in a half-clinch without managing to land a thrust ... I'll just have to practice.

But watching that video, I realize I need to work on my thrust technique. When I try to stab, its very hit or miss, so I really should practice it.

I don't mean thrust in general, it can stay how it is now, I just mean the dagger. Imagine if you're going up against someone with a warhammer and you have a dagger. You can fight on the inside, getting up right next to them without getting hit, because their weapon is useless at dagger range...
