If you take an attack option, you can also make a separate dagger attack against the same enemy. It is rolled at -4 DX. A figure with the Two Weapons talent can fight effectively with a regular weapon in each hand. A person who does not have this talent may attempt the same feat, but his DX will be -6 for each attack, and he gets no defensive advantage.

Yeah, that's close, but doesn't really answer the case where someone is holding a weapon in their off hand and they want to make one attack with that (e.g. because they have a reason, like it's a torch and their target is soaked in flammable oil, or a green slime or troll or something).
However I think -4 to do that seems like the "right" penalty... though GURPS may be coloring my opinion.
