Desirability

The Spriggan's Knife[1] is very useful to stabbers, especially those relying on spells such as Confusing Touch or Mephitic Cloud instead of Ensorcelled Hibernation. It is also very useful for summoners due to the distraction effect of summons granting free tier-1 stabs independent of willpower or HD. Unfortunately, it isn't much use to other characters unless you find it very early on, since an unbranded dagger is a poor weapon for general combat.
