It's shit. And it's very different from Karyst, the two are in completely seperate weapon classes. They can't even both use the same sorts of unique mods (ie Covert Lethality). But yeah, level it to 30 and then never touch it again-- but  don't sell it. The BP is a one-time reward that can't be reaquired and you never know when DE might buff Dual Daggers which are currently one of the worst melee weapon classes in the game if not the worst).

Also, while I'm on the subject, the Karyst isn't a particularly great weapon either. It needs Covert Lethality to really be effective and even then it is only useful when used with frames that can leave enemies open to finishers (ie stealth frames, Excal's Radial Blind and Inaros' sand attack, things like that). Daggers are very much stealth weapons and their poor range and non-finisher damage makes them pretty impotent in straight-out combat. Use something more traditional for that like a sword, polearm, hammer or whatever. Daggers, thrown melees and gunblades are all relatively niche melee weapons, they excel in stealth but underperform just about everywhere else.
