Here's one. What would happen if Gold were to try and stab Jabberwocky with the DO dagger? Would it have any effect? I doubt it, personally.

Maybe against ordinary foes, it works like normal, but against magical foes, there is a different strategy, particularly if the opponent has only certain things that affect them.

Also, keep in mind that even Rumple does not wantenly wield the dagger. it CAN be wrenched from his grasp, and he does fear losing control of it. He always keeps it on him, but only draws it when he needs some aspect of its magic (like in dealing with the hat, for example).
