You forgot to mention the most underrated thing that makes Mehrune's Razor the best dagger in the game when dual wielding. If you dual wield it with Valdr's Lucky Dagger, the chance to insta-kill enemies stacks with Valdr's Lucky Dagger critical chance. In short that nearly 2% insta-kill becomes 26-27% chance to insta-kill. Better, you can even make that chance even higher by doing the following:

1. Have the vanilla version of the game with NO mods at all. Not even the Unofficial patches.
2. Use Mehrune's Dagger on you MAIN/PRIMARY hand. Valdr's Lucky Dagger on your off hand.
3. Get the Critical Chance perk from the One-Handed skill tree.
4. Get 2 stages of the Dual Flurry perk from the One-Handed skill tree.
5. Have ALL 3 words (Tiid, Klo & UI) of the slow time shout.

If you do the above, you will have a near 100% success rate at insta-killing whatever you strike during the duration of the slow time shout.

Best dagger that you can craft is Stalhrim Dagger with Chaos damage and fiery soul trap effects. For non craftable best dagger I recomend Mehrunes Razor.

Arniel Gane's experiment is one of the most significant events in all of TES. Nobody addresses this. The man recreated a smaller version of a mass extinction event.

You can’t speak of Keening without at least mentioning that it was one of the most important artifacts in Morrowind’s history. It’s been used to tap into the heart of a literal god

[gaymer]

Btw everyone, in case you didn't know, after you collect Merune's Razor, two Dremoea are summoned right in front of you, so be ready for a fight

[PauloArais]

About Keening: the enchantment was fixed with the Unofficial Patch on PC. Now this dagger have infinite charges as it was meant to be.

Morrowind Players: **See Keening section**

Also Morrowind Players: Look how they massacred my boy

I have played through Hag's end an endless amount of times throughout my ±700 hr Skyrim career....and not once did I see Bloodthorn!

Playing a stealthy thief/assassin build during quarantine with bow as main and duel wield daggers as a secondary weapon. This list is pretty helpful.

[Bueyedwof]

The Ebony Warrior can turn the Razor's effect back on you with his Reflect Blows perk. Seeing as how that perk activates often on him, I wouldn't recommend using it against him.

Another unique dagger you missed is Valdr’s lucky dagger. There’s also a way to glitch it to get a second one as well. It’s enchantment gives a 25% for a critical hit. This enchantment uses no charges so lasts forever. Duel wielding two of these really puts out some damage per second because of the criticals.

[TheRealKingDedede]

I hate to say this but if you’re doing your job as an assassin correctly, you hardly ever need absorb health enchantments

This quarantine has me getting ready to do another playthrough of Fallout 3 can the do some videos related to it. Love the content btw

[DECKR]

You've missed *Valdr's Lucky Dagger* a steel dagger with a unique enchantment (25% chance of a critical hit), in my opinion is the best dagger you can get early game. You will get it from Valdr in Moss Mother Cavern a small cave northwest of Falkreath near Half-Moon Mill, after healing his wounds and cleaning the cave from a bear and spriggans.

[memedaddy]

Also the Blade of Woe is the most heavy dagger in Skyrim. It weight almost like a sword which makes it pretty slow. That's why I personally prefer the Mehrunes' Razor in main hand and the Valdr's Lucky Dagger in second hand. Very deadly combination if you ask me.

[NobodyDungeons]

I personally like to duel wield the blade of woe with bloodthorn as the absorb health is very nice for survival on higher difficulties

[stupidityincarnate]

Caedo: "You must finish 'pieces of the past, ' to get Mehrunes Dagger."

Me, who kills Silus in a town-wide massacre: *_Seethes with pain_*

[thezblah]

Interesting bug or downside to Blade of Woe, it has the base damage and stagger value (meaning it cannot stagger) of a dagger and counts for the sneak perks... but it has the attack speed of a sword. Not terribly noticeable when doing stealth takedowns but unlike all other daggers it can't do the "double hit" when performing a standing power attack because of it's slow speed.

[AsaelTheBeast]

Keening is also "good" for long time players of the series who like their lore.
Basically, it's one of Kagrenacs tools- Kagrenac being the chief Tonal Architects of the now extinct Dwemer.

Although it's ancient enchantment is apparently failing. It used to be that you needed a special gauntlet just to hold the thing without dying.
It's one of the tools the Tribunal used to ascend as living gods.

Basically, Keening, along with it's "brother", Sunder, were tools made by Kagrenac for the purpose of drawing out and manipulating the energies from the Heart of Lorkhan*. The ultimate Goal being to make a Mechanical god, Numidium**. Ultimately, he only succeeded in causing every dwemer on the planet to disappear at once- with one exception.

It Featured *very* prominently in the story of ES3: Morrowind.

*IF you aren't up on the lore- Lorkhan was the god who made mundus- and the human races are his "descendants" (Where as elves claim their ancestors were Aedra). It's a long story, but Lorkhan was basically killed by the chief deities of the old school elves- Auri-el and Triminac, and his heart was cast into the ocean from which Vardenfell and red mountain arose. The dwemer specifically went to Vardenfell to find the damn thing.

**Tiber Septim would get his hands on Numidium- though not powered by the heart- and use it to conquer Tamriel. The thing basically breaks time every time it was deployed- and only the timeline where it wins is allowed to exist. It was destroyed shortly after the conquest- probably deemed to dangerous to keep around. If you are wondering what it was actually powered by? Souls.

So one of the most powerful daggers in skyrim, not for raw damage but for other reasons is valdr's lucky dagger which has the effect of increasing critical hit chance by 25% which is considered an additional effect similar to that on the zephyr bow and the long hammer meaning you can use the elemental fury shout with this dagger equipped which makes it one of the most powerful in the game for reasons other than damage personally I wield this in my off hand with a sword in my right hand to land critical hits left right and center which while critical hits are not powerful in the grand scheme of thing they do have an effect even if it is a lacking one
