(A) Knifehand 2 lets you do cutting damage, not just crushing, for the same cost. So I'd call that balanced. (B) I haven't discussed the exact reasons with him in detail, but I know that for the purposes of DF only, Kromm has ruled that the only benefit of Striker (Limb, -20%) is the +1/die damage; it isn't treated as an armed attack in DF.
