How do multiple dagger attacks work? - Unrecognizable man working on computer at home

My character just equipped a dagger for the first time and it looks as though regular attacks actually hit twice.

  2. What causes it? Does every dagger attack always behave this way?
  3. Does each attack has a chance to apply on-hit debuffs separately from the other attack?
