Weapon explanation: Genesis' blades

[Crashlander04]

I am have them removed, seeing how there is such a rage over them and that I have not been on yet to RP them once, but it wipes away a good deal of my character's backstory and experiences in life. Also, they would pretty much be an iron sword, only slightly weaker. I am used to the RPG vs. RP format so I may be doing this incorrectly. Please do tell me if I am so I can make changes

I don't think there is at all of a problem having the weapons for lets say, character design or background reasoning. However, if you were to type in game 'My character pulls out the knives and stabs your character faster than he could block' then you would be using them to powergame. Using action typing to fight is fair but boring; nobody will ever win:

'My character stabs at your character.'

'My character blocks your stab.'

'My character stabs at your character..'

Etc..

You could very well use a sword in game for PvP (or PvE if you really wished) and recall of how you used your knives but in that instance you couldn't particular force others to realize you were using it. If you attacked somebody with a sword, they would think you attacked them with a sword - of course they would have no other reason to think so. You could state in game, or supplement information in local chat, that your character's sword is a concealed knife, but there aren't any rules to limit or force others to follow that RP view/extension.
