Blave or Iris

[fidoelprice]

So i have been using the steel sword Iris instead of Venomous Viper Steel Sword, but i now won the skellige-tournament in blood and wine, and got the Blave from the ofieri guy. It has 6+ higher damage, however the Iris has this unique special ability that increases attack at cost of vitality. What should i go for?

Iris also removes shields from humans with special attack and the knockdown followed with finisher is instant kill.
