I've felt since Martial Arts came out that the Main Gauche skill should have been thrown out and the ignore the off hand parry penalty offered as a skill adaptation perk added to Knife.

A skill learned specifically for your off-hand does not suffer the off-hand penalty. Otherwise, shields would suck!
