How do you feel about Knife being off-hand?

I feel like we're giving up a lot of really good combos, and things that make sense by not allowing knife to be off-hand, and not really gaining anything interesting in return for making it main-hand.

Sword/Knife for fencer. Lute/Knife for a bard. The only thing we'd really be losing out on would be knife/shield.

Thing is, what I'm saying is my opinion based on making more diverse DPS builds, and pure aesthetic theming. A knife as a main-hand only weapon just seems sort of odd to me. I'm posting this purely to know if people agree or disagree.

Knife will in fact eventually be main hand / off hand. Daggers for main hand and shivs will be off-hand. We don't have the animations for it at the moment, and it's not really a high priority during alpha, but it will happen.

Will different abilities require knife or shiv specifically? Or any knife skill will be usable with shiv?

Really happy about this.
