Go ahead :)
It's pretty easy to find another Secret Dagger, the ninja enemies in 1-3 and 1-4 drop them a lot, especially on PB WT. Also, you can try out the next best thing. Make a Sharp Secret Dagger, use it in your left hand, as you can parry with it, and then use your Fatal Secret Dagger in your right hand.
That way, even if you miss the backstabs, you can still swing the Left Handed Sharp Secret Dagger, which has an extremely fast start up (all usable weapons on the left hand can attack much faster than the right hand) so that way, you'll set up your enemy in mid-animation from which they cannot move, until your stamina drains with your attacks.
Works like a charm for my Sharp Uchigatana +5 left hand - Tearing Uchigatana +5 right hand combo ;)
