I'd like to throw (pun intended) another point in favor of Starnkives:
Since they are a melee weapon you can add the Spell Storing enhancement to them. Delivering the spell also does not require a melee attack, it can be done with a thrown weapon. It creates some interesting options when bouncing that weapon around with the Startoss feats.
A Desna-worshipping Eldritch Scion Magus could be interesting.
A starknife strapped to a belt would be a precarious thing. Forget about running or jumping with multiple blades flailing about, better just hold the darn thing.
That's why you keep your starknives safely stowed in your special hat.
Yes, the design of the starknife doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It is one of the worst weapons in Pathfinder in regards to realistic, practical and believable design, maybe even the worst.
But since it seems to be protected by virtue of being a "creator's favourite", it is going to stay that way.
Thread Necromancy continuation...I made a Flying Blade Swashbuckler that did like 1d4+40ish damage per hit with his starknives.

Do you have the build info for that? I’ve been putting one together recently and I’d like to see what you used.

Has anyone made a Warpriest build using the Starknife?
A little feat-starved, but go human, all your levels count as fighter levels for specialization/combat feats, and an x3 crit at higher levels scales nicely.
Improved Crit at 9th, Improved Precise Shot, etc.
Archetype to taste, and probably go Dex to damage, though Guided Hand (Wis to hit) opens SAD possibilities...
You could also go with that archetype which gives Warpriests smite. It's a bit odd that it uses charisma, but divine fighting style helps out with using CHA for attack and damage. Maybe even a dip into Lore or Nature oracle for CHA to AC.
Then you just pump CHA while maintaining a decent WIS and CON.
Yeah starknife just screams finesse warpriest quick draw twf to me.

I'm still waiting for a Warpriest archetype that makes the Warpriest a charisma based spontaneous caster (the equivalent to Eldritch Scion).

Champion of the Faith, but the charisma-to-hit from smite wouldn't stack with Desna's Shooting Star, so that's rather wasted.
I don’t know if this idea of mine is the best idea or the stupidest idea ever, but I like the idea of an entirely Charisma-based fighter who takes Desna’s fighting style at level 1, dumps intelligence, and uses Advanced Weapon Training to be one of the most charming people you can find (lots of the skill replacements with AWT are Charisma skills).

I've been tinkering with a charisma brawler that uses starknives with Versatile design [close] so they can use cha to flurry and more damage from Close Weapon Mastery. Splash a level of oracle for Cha to dex and ref and you're set.

In the words of Mayor Quimby, it can be two things!
