That would limit Leif a lot. A knife is deadly but its almost impossible to use in a pitched battle due to its obvious limitations. An axe and a knife is a formidable duo if in the right hands though. Plus, two handed weapons are swag. Only dumb peasants don't know how to half-sword and all the cool ways to use a sword. But if you must have Leif use some other type of weapon, it should make sense for a person to choose it. A knife is really only useful if you're in arms reach of another person.
Pulling a knife while having an arming sword as back-up is backwards to me.
Well I suppose in battle, using a dagger as your main weapon, with a sword back up wouldn't be as logical... I just pictured Leif getting all butt hurt after finding out about Sevine x Do'Karth, and A)having his long sword stolen during the festival, and having to use other means available at the time to fight. So, I pictured him originally, becoming more of a stealth killer, or even having him become more of a brawler. In his attempt to forsake his sword, he would develop a sense of "idgaf if I die; gon' kill deez mofos no matter what. Stab in the bloody eye if I have to." But I did want to get him in more scenarios of close quarter combat, and I just felt that the long sword got in the way.
Maybe, if you guys can point in the right direction of resources for using a two-handed long sword, I might keep his choice of weapon and find a way to write about it better. I just want to do him justice as a character, and not have him take a back seat, so to speak.
1x Thank
