Quick verdict
Pick Grinn for higher base attack and Grace+Courage hybrid (**41 attack**, **14 Courage**, 6% smite)—The Royal Tines is the pure Spirit short blade at **10 Spirit** with only **26 attack** but **6% smite** for dedicated Spirit dagger tech. Royal Tines drops from **Vadagar Stag** fragments; Grinn farms **Bisulcam** / Sinecure patrols.

Weapon overview Grinn Short Blades · Grace · Uncommon
The toothed sawblade of Sinecure trappers. Hooked and barbed like wardog teeth, Grinn finds the grip of any so ruthless. Though the Ode prefer to hunt in legions, 'tis custom to carry such a sawblade on solitary journeys. Tucked close to it's master's side, Grinn makes for a fierce companion with a ripping bite... Near drooling for prey.
