"Junk" Weapons Damage Values

Do weapons like:
Gnarled staves, shepherds crooks, skinning knives, cleavers, and daggers
Have bad damage on this here?
I feel like I can remember them being both weak and as strong as the rest at different points on the OSI shards so I'm unsure if they are the same way here.

Also reading about shadow of the rogue it increases the damage of "knives?" What does this mean, which knives?
