One hand weapond for dual wield

ZorroDeMar

Currently I’m using 2 swords for my nightblade. From all one hand weapon; Is there a better weapon damage on any? What about combine different one hand weapon. I was using a Mace and sword, but the truth is that the new swords I’m using look awesome.

It's entirely up to you but I go by this

Mace + Dagger for PvP
Axe + Dagger for PvE
Dual Swords for Magic users

You can go dual swords if you are building for just raw Damage and have Low Crit though.

Two swords give you a boost to weapon damage if you have the passive.

magika builds: 2 nirnhoned swords
stamina builds:
PvE:
1) 2 precious swords for AoE on trash mobs
2) sword & mace for single target bosses (precious or sharpened depended on build values of crit rate and armor debuff skills )
3) 2 precious daggers for crit builds (mainly khajiit with focus CP on crit dmg)
PvP:
mace+axe or mace + sword (precious or sharpened depended on build values of crit rate and penetration)

I would go for 2 daggers for stamina, and 2 swords for magicka.

Depends a lot on build, race. I run a stamina sorcerer so every time i crit i heal, I crit at least every other hit with a crit chance of 65% using one dagger so I use a sword in the other hand for the extra damage. This is on redguard, other races/classes have crit passives which can reduce the need for daggers even more. I find there's little point being much more than 65% crit chance, at least for my build.

It actually increases flat dmg of any source, not just weapon dmg.
Thats why many magicka builds are running around with dual swords.

Duel Daggers for style points. This trumps all combinations.

In most cases I agree but deadric dagger and sword look pretty cool together too
