There are 2 types of daggers - normal and dual blade. And there are handles for each type. You are probably trying to attach the wrong type of handle.
As for comparison, red is worse, green is better (this is like traffic lights in North America-green for go, red for stop). The game is telling you the 229 DPS blade is worse. It will always say that because it only compares DPS, no other stats on the blade.
Also, DPS isn't necessarily the best indicator. Adding a demon slaying rune only increases DPS against demons. It won't help against templars or animals like wyverns.
And abilities are based on the base damage number. So an ability that does 300% damage (or 3 times damage) with a 200DPS dagger/75 damage base will generate 225 points of damage with the ability. A sword with 125 DPS but 100 Damage base will generate 300 points of damage with an ability. Just something to keep in mind, but it affects warriors more than the other classes because they have a wider choice of weapon. So a high DPS axe may be worse than a low DPS mace if you rely on abilities for damage output, depending on the base damage.
