I'll post in here if I've got something I'm trying to do and I need suggestions or technical support.

To start, I want to do a knife weapon, and I wanted to try to do more than just a stab-spamming dagger.

I first tried it as a fist (shown as a brown, iron-plated gauntlet with a reverse-grip knife) to try to make use of the combo system: doing an uppercut with it seemed pretty cool, but it required both slots to have a fist weapon; otherwise all it could do was that short punch you can't aim, and it's hopeless against overhead targets.

If there's a way to force that uppercut while it is one-handed, that'd be dandy.

Another issue I ran into was that the offset would return to an incorrect placement after swinging, and would only return to the correct placement if the weapon was unequipped and re-equipped.

If that doesn't work out, another option would be to make it an 'axe', using something like the unrand frying pan's template, but I feel that will be very awkward unless it was something machete-sized.

If all else fails, I could just make it a dagger, but that's not as cool.
