I would recommend you try to enjoy the game and not rush getting everything.

Unless you have all the parts prints for dual kamas prime then it's a good weapon if you like sliding and doing damage to enemies at the same time. Fang prime I have no idea what they are like yet but I have the regular version.

A Dagger with Covert Lethality (for teleportation augment finisher insta kills) + Fully Leveled Fury/Primed Fury (to increase the speed of Blade Storm) + Body Count/Drifting Contact (to increase the combo duration of Blade Storm). Note that the attack speed of bladestorm is not increased by the base speed of a weapon, just by the mods Fury/Primed Fury.

I should take a step back and tell you why people like Daggers for Ash. Basically, Ash has an augment that lets him get finisher strikes on enemies when he teleports. Daggers when equipped with the mod Covert Lethality one shot everything in the game in finisher attacks (at least, enemies that can be put into finishers), so its quite powerful in practice. Note that this mod is only availible on single daggers, not on dual daggers like the Fang Prime. People recommend/use the Rakta Dark Dagger the most because it is the best of the dagger class, but if you are mostly using the dagger for Covert Lethality finishers, you can basically use whatever dagger you want and it won't make a difference. However, this being said, the Dagger class isn't that great without Covert Lethality. If you don't have Covert Lethality, you can use basically whatever melee weapon you want with the addition of Fury/Primed Fury if you want to use Blade Storm a lot.

As far as your general weapons go...

Dual Kamas Prime are a good weapon, however they just got vaulted so you will have to either try to get the relics or pay someone for them. There are a bunch of good alternatives to them like the Dark Split Sword, the Dual Ichor, the Prisma Dual Clevers, or the Twin Basolk that work just as well and are availible in the Dojo/from Baro mostly (if you don't have to access to a dojo, Twin Basolk will work just fine). The new Nami Skyla prime look pretty good from the stats as well, but I can't comment on how hard they are to get from the relics (and they are MR11 which is pretty high).

Fang Prime is a rather meh specimen of the dual dagger class which is in itself subpar at best. Its a whole lot of don't bother with it.

Orthos Prime is another great weapon to look into. It has a... rather large hitbox shall we say and the relics are easy to get.

You need the Covert Lethality Mod, that's the big thing. People just like the Rakta Dark Dagger because it has the best stats of the dagger class. But as I've said previously, any dagger with Covert Lethality will one shot enemies on finishers.

Jat Kittag.
Does really insane finisher damage and it's still kinda-viable against anything about lvl 100.
Also with Vulcan Blitz you will clear groups of enemies like there's no tomorrow.
Thing is... pure Impact falls off as the enemy levels go higher and I did tried few silly stuff like building status Jat Kittag, status War - it doesn't seems to work that well as is for pure status weapons, even with kinda-high status chance like 70+%.

Still - I recommend you trying Jat Kittag - I am doing Index runs with it(doesn't matter which index tbh) - it's oneshotting stuff even when the score/timer runs out.
It does not take you away the finisher viability(until I haven't met anything aside of really tough high level Nox that I can NOT one shot), while the weapon still provides a good "standard" usage.

Edit:
Oh you said you don't like hammers and stuff like that...
Eh...
Well I am using Caryst and it's kinda ok so - there's that :)
Rakta Dark Dagger is kinda cool as noted - has that Syndicate mod, which will help a lot in terms of keeping you alive.
Still though - I am encouraging you to try the Jat Kittag nevertheless!
