The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This item is perfect in order to make your weapon skills raise as it's a vendor item and it has some of the quickest attack speed over the whole game.
Poignard, or poniard, refers to a long, lightweight thrusting knife with a continuously tapering, acutely pointed blade and crossguard, historically worn by the upper class, noblemen, or the knighthood.
When a hunter has Aspect of the Viper on, these recover about 157-158 mana per hit with a ranged weapon with an attack speed of 2.8. Duel wielding these when at low mana and getting close to the enemy to attack them, with an even slower ranged weapon will likely regain mana VERY quickly. Might be worth it for hunters to get an additional set consisting of this and a slow ranged weapon for mana recovery in a raid or group.
