	It's generally regarded that some one-handed weapons get an attack
skills bonus if used two-handed.  Never really confirmed (How would one do
that conclusively anyway).  I imagine there's a bit of damage in tehre
too.  But that's the basic reason.  King Pin seems to attack better with
his Off-Hand dagger (including hhitting harder) than when he uses his
prime Scimitar.  (Seems harder than 2-handed SC  too, he just normally
doesn't attack with it)  True, I think this bit is still a cloudy area of
the games
