Short Blades: Trainer or Book? (Spoiler request)

[Farwalker]

Just wondering, is there a trainer or book for short blades?
Thanks

I never saw neither of them. I am very selective in the treasure chests/ loots I find/get (respectively). I spend some time checking their contents and loading the game until I find one thing that may come in handy (to use or to sell). And I never saw books about short bladed weapons or anyone who teaches it. Neither did I find unarmed combat books or teachers =\

Short blade skill would have been useful if the poison stinger worked.

I read there was a problem with the stinger, this wasn't fixed in a patch?

I was thinking short blades might be a nice option in some cases, but hard for it to compete when other "mainstream" weapon skills have +7 available in the game without using character points.

Adamantine dagger, 5 damage at 1.5 lbs - that's not too shabby, particularly if you don't like fiddling around with your equipment to cast. But a 3 skill point price of entry vs others that can be had not only free but free at skill level 7... Where's the short blade love?
