I'm inclined to agree with you. Plus, when you think about it, Grey Star
doesn't really fight in as classic manner with a Quarterstaff. He create a
blaze of magical energy at one end of the thing and then burns his opponents
with it. Hell, the cover of book 1 shows him holding the glowing staff in one
hand (though Book 2, which is the only cover to show him fighting, does have
him using two hands). So, figure he can use the Jeweled Dagger as well.

yeah I know -
But I thought the possibility of you losing your staff but not your dagger was
so remote that they can't ever have intended you to have a choice of such a
useless bonus, and thus reasoned either you must be able to use it in combat as
well as the staff, or the bonus was "magical" :)
Which was probably clutching at straws. Or Klesaas., or something

The Jeweled Dagger was +1 CS. For my part I never took it because the Staff
was a two-handed Weapon. Thus, the only way you'd get any use out of the
Dagger would be if you'd somehow lost your Staff and still had the Dagger, in
which you'd be fighting at -5 CS instead of -6 CS. For that reason I always
pick the Talisman of the Shianti. The 2 point WP bonus isn't that great, but
the Talisman will at least help you with a bonus to a couple of RNT picks.

Indeed.
Actually, this is why in the Grey Star books, when you have a choice of a
Jewelled Dagger (with +1CS ... or is it +2?) for your initial equipment,
I always choose it and add the +2 when fighting, on the basis that I'm using it
*with* my staff,
as it always struck me as absurd that you would have an item which only gave
you small CS bonus if you decided to fight without your staff, thus
automatically losing 6CS! Your mileage may vary :)

Because it strikes me as absurd that Dever would create a bonus that caters
exclusively to those players who refuse to master the Bow at Mentora level and
beyond.
