That's the Pummel skill from new type knuckles added one or two patches previously. Funny thing is that i didn't even noticed that weapon until i have started to use cheats - for testing all around items. I was just to lazy to walk or run around many planets to find them on my own. And if i wanted to min-max the build i just had to test many weapons for that reason. I try to avoid making maximaly cheated character (meaning: to edit the character up to normally unobtainable values or items). That kind of cheating would simply take out my enjoyment and any thrill to fight if i would know that i can win any battle without any effort. And while i enjoy good and complicated characters or npc's i also enjoy a good fight with optimized build. So far i have found Smuggler to be perfect for me. However my first character was a Technician - i think it was for the purpose of roleplaying, and that it was simply the best for new players. Also it was long ago, at a times when there was many Energy Weapon melee and ranged. In fact there was so many energy type weapons that playing other builds was just not funny.
Edit: goal is simple: when in fight window just press "1" to attack and hold. Watch enemy melting or loose a fight. Noncomplicated type of playing, especially when i don't want to use many buttons for many skills. Kineticist is not made for me. Mercenary was good for ranged damage. Technician was all to well known for me... So the choice was obvious until i learned how to apply 'bleeding'. I think that's the reason why we don't have blinding melee weapon, do we? Only stunning types. And the sneak attack could be applied when enemy gets blinded or stunned. So it is just like that: use melee weapon that stuns while crit landing and than bleed applies, or just use pocket sand to blind them. There is a potential for ranged build Smuggler, while there is a Grenade launcher ranged weapon with switchable ammo types, which can also blind when hit them. And perpetual blinding will trigger perpetual sneak attack and apply bleeding. That simple.
