Most people seem to not understand this so I'll post this here as well.

The attack speed listed on weapoons is not an absolute value but an animation speed modifier. So what happens is that there is a set of attack animations for each weapon class and these animations run at a certain base speed. Dagger attack animations are faster than those of Hammers or other heavy weapons.

So even though many daggers and Dual Daggers have attack speeds below 1.0 they still attack far faster than many heavier wepons with attack speeds of 1.0 or higher.
