In Morrowind you can make it the throwing variety if you really want to. Right click in the weapons list in TESCS, click New, fill in the ID & name, choose "throwing knife" when it calls for weapon type and then in the ArtFile, click and browse your second disk until you find the Mesh for the Daedric Dagger. Choose it and do likewise for the Icon slot. Then Save. Now you should have a Daedric Throwing Dagger. You can set the stats the way you want them. Cool, huh?
Another of my favorite weapon recreations was to turn Claymores into one-handed swords that were powerfully long and that way I could use a shield too.
