Concerning the Swordbreaker Dagger (from Advanced Player's Guide). The dagger offers +4 to Sunder and Disarm attempts. Great for disarms, but when it comes to sunders, the dagger does the same damage as a normal dagger (1d4). This means that even a character with a decently high strength (say, 20) would be hard-pressed to sunder a an enemy's blade, as blades have a hardness of 10.
However, as noted on this page:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/damaging-objects
"Vulnerability to Certain Attacks
Certain attacks are especially successful against some objects. In such cases, attacks deal double their normal damage and may ignore the object's hardness."
A sunder from a Swordbreaker dagger seems like it would be one of those "certain attacks", so my question is, to what extent? Does a swordbreaker dagger do double damage against the types of weapons it was designed to break, and does it ignore such objects hardness?
