True enough, but I'd say that it isn't exactly a swing either. Tip Slash is the official rule that is the closest to this, I think. Maybe a less severe damage penalty? Maybe only -1, since your dagger is quite deep in the unfornate person's throat.....

Its an interesting one because yeah you're right sawing away at some poor chaps throat form the inside isn't really a combat move that's much like either attack mode on in the tables. Given its definitely Cut and given how bad it's going to be, I'd be happy just call it the usual Sw cut mode.
Ultimately there's not much overall difference in damage done here thanks to Cut getting more of a boost than Imp due to the location bonus
Say we have a ST10 gent with a Large knife
Thr imp is 1d-2 x2.5,
Sw -2 cut is also 1d-2 x2.5
Now as ST increases this will change.
Anyway I do recommend looking at Technical Grappling if you are interested in this (and some suggestions have already been made). But ultimately we're talking about grabbing the target and doing damage as quick as possible to sensitive areas to incapacitate them faster than they can meaningfully react to you. And your solution will do that.

It doesn't. This has come up in decapitation threads. There seems to have been a concious decision not to treat the neck like a limb in terms of crippling and destroyed/dismemberment thresholds.
