Technically I think that would be an improvised weapon, -4 to attack and d4 for sneak attack damage.
On the other hand he could do non-lethal damage with the blade, still a -4 penalty to hit but d8 sneak attack damage.
I'd allow attacking with the butt of the knife with d8 sneak attack damage just for roleplaying color.

4. Rogue Talent: Surprise Attack
5. Sap Master
I was thinking of a character that twirled his daggers and taunted his opponents by switching between the handle and the blade. Eventually I would give the rogue Shatter Defenses.

Isn't there a feat that lets you deal non-lethal sneak attack when using a lethal weapon to deal non-lethal damage?
That's his bludgeoner feat, but it only works with bludgeoning weapons.
He's trying to use a slashing weapon to deal bludgeoning damage with the pommel, so he can get the bonus damage for using a dagger-like-blade and the bonuses for using a nonlethal weapon. Which doesn't work.
What would help is the merciful enchantment, which gives +1d6 damage and converts all damage to non-lethal. It's like a rogue with sap master bribed a wizard to research a new enchantment.

What I was thinking was that Catch-Off Guard would make the Dagger a bludgeoning weapon, but I guess I need a single level Monk of the Empty Hand in order to do it.
It probably would, but if this was my game I'd say you lose the benefit of the Knife Master archetype then, cause you're essentially using a club.
