actually, this is my mistake... the current rules for a mob is in the Cityscape, since it came out Nov 2007, while the DMG2 came out in 2005

You may as well be arguing that the type pyramid does not apply
Which it doesn't.  It's ends up getting superceded for three entirely separate reasons (aside from being described as being more like guidelines than actual rules).

First, it's 3.0 material, and gets superceded by the template rules in the 3.5 core books.
Second, savage species isn't the primary source on this - the monster manual is, according to the errata.
Third, specific overrides general, and templates specifically stating that they change type from X to Y override the general case.

If people actually followed the type pyramid, then incarnate construct would inevitably result in a creature that was still a [construct].

Instead of Crescent Knives, why don't you use Manyfang Daggers? Manyfang Daggers get Quadruple the number of attacks (Quintuple if critical). Daggers can also be used as thrown weapons, so you can double that again with Palm Throw (for 8 attacks per attack). That should give you a lot more attacks.

(I didn't read the whole thread, so i'm sorry if this has been suggested/refused already!)

Manyfang Daggers deal quadruple damage, which, while awesome, does not provide any extra attacks.

Can't you just buy a bunch of Skeleton Hand graft to wield weapons?

Not familiar with this one. Source?

But if it works like most grafts, then no, because it is uncapped in it's use. But, depending on how it works, I may include a single set to slightly enhance the number, as I did with braid blades.
