Changelogs
Version 1.2
Fixed a couple of cut-and-paste errors whereby the stalhrim offhand dagger was using dragonbone textures and the stalhrim parrying dagger was not temperable.
Version 1.0
Port of original version 1.1 (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/81726) to SSE.
Craft a complete set of rapiers, "cut and thrust" swords, and parrying daggers, keyed to the Light Smithing perks. All weapons now have full-length scabbards. The rapiers are lighter than standard swords and do slightly less damage, but they are also faster and have a longer reach. "Cut and thrust" swords are shorter than rapiers, but lighter and faster than standard longswords.
The parrying daggers are categorized as armor; they function as shields, and can't be used to attack unless you have shield bash perks. However, I've also included a complete matching set of offhand daggers as weapons. (These are designed as a supplement to the parrying daggers, and can only be assigned to the shield hand.)
If you want the option to defend and attack, you could build both parrying and offhand daggers. Be sure to equip the offhand dagger to the left hand. I have not been able to make the hotkeys work properly for this combination, but you can switch between daggers in your Inventory.
The rapiers and daggers can be built in steel, silver, Skyforge steel, elven, Advanced, glass, and dragonbone variants. Dragonslayer and Stalhrim variants may also become available. All use light smithing perks, and are fully temperable. Vampire hunters will find the silver weapons (crafted from silver swords) especially useful.
This pairs particularly well with 1st Person Spear and Rapier Animations SE (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22039).
