The rules give a -1 DX penalty for using a main-gauche to stop 1 hit of damage. Perhaps if you have Fencer and/or Two Weapons talent, you could get the defensive advantages of a main-gauche without the -1 DX penalty.

Cost and weight aside, it seems players should optimize to have a main-gauche rather than a dagger, except a main-gauche can't be thrown.
