I feel very comfortable with dagger tapping. I don't really know where you would go to find out more. Maybe someone will chime in or you could post on it. the tecnique is very fast-as to reduce the chance of angle changes or thrust to slash manuevers.
Put simply you use your hands to quickly tap on the attacking arm. Passing the knife all the while with your multiple taps. Ending with the thumb and forefinger straddling the arm slightly above the elbow, from the outside of the center-line. This usually forces the attacker to spin completely around to attack again.
one option.
I like the shield (buckler) training too. When I do get a hold of the attacking arm, I do like to secure it with both hands like you said.
