The first dot is weak and inconsistent with other combat merits that increase the user's initiative. The new version below adds Weaponry to Composure instead of substituting one for the other.
Those trained in Special Forces knife fighting know to move fast before incoming attacks and in response to them. To do this requires a level of anticipation and strategy even before a combat begins. At this level, your character may add his Weaponry score to his Composure when determining his Initiative modifier. This applies only during combat situations in which your character is using an edged or pointed weapon of Size 2 or under.
