Why take the -2 hit? Kobolds also do well just starting with short blades. The +3 to shortblades means it is trivial to ramp this up to 10 or 12, which is all you need for min delay for all those daggers and shortswords littering the early dungeon, often with very useful early brands like venom or draining or speed. The very fast weapon speed is more than enough to dominate most early game critters. Then cross train to longblades once branded longblades start showing up in the RNG, and as long as your shortblade skill is higher, the -2 is instead a +2, so once again you will reach min delay rather quickly. Added bonus as you can keep a dagger around for stabbing damage (another +2 skill) for brutalizing sleeping enemies.
