Knives are totally alright though, right?

And also - doesn't apply to Faruq yet, but by "knives and staves", is it meant "simple knives and simple staves" or "any weapons under those weapon skills"?
Knives are fine.

It largely means simple knives and staves. You could probably get away with a kukri but probably not a kama. Katar would likely push things a little.

Just to confirm - is this correct on kukri and katar, since kukri are 0k2 and katar are 2k1? (If I'm not getting confused at least)

Correct - the ruling's not based on stats but on visible 'knifiness'. A guard isn't likely to read a kama as a knife even if the mechanics treat it as one. A katar on your belt might look like a knife but it will stand out in use.

Right, that actually makes lots of sense :) Thanks!

Yes! One knows it is of great misfortune to turn down a beautiful woman's request. So if a dance is your desire a dance will be had!
