What good are daggers?

Question

I've gotten to Venice and I have never so much as drawn my dagger (well, not on purpose. Thanks, obnoxiously twitchy weapon selector!). I haven't felt like anything was particularly difficult while using only my main weapon and hidden blades for melee work.

Am I missing out on any dagger awesomeness? Any special tricks that require the dagger to perform? Or is it just another piece of assassin bling?

Answer

Same disclaimer as last time: It's been a while since I played this game... and don't have access to my copy (it's on loan to a friend half an ocean away), but if I recall...

Daggers seemed, at least from my own personal observation, much easier to counter-kill with them, and not so good to outright battle with. The sword seemed just the opposite. Sword was nice for outright battle, but not so much for countering. I never really used the hidden blade much for anything beyond starting a fight or making quick work of a lone guard.

As for the special tricks, I've no idea.
