Better go the other way: Weapon Adaptation (Brawling Improvised Weapons default to Karate.) + Bite Mastery. No you have the best of both worlds for slightly more than the price of one.

Another good route

Invented quirk> No, its a RAW published perk from GURPS: Power-Ups 2. It does however transplant capability, in the listed case of Alchemy style analysis possible with Herb Lore. That's a pretty potent micro-ability crossover.

Thats one of the reasons why I am determining the scope of this perk, so I just wanted a couple of people's takes on this.
