Those both seem like good suggestions. Either 3 slots retaining shield use, or 2 slots no shield. Can still use a Long Dagger as a CQC weapon effectively with a 1 slot shield.
1b: Make it 3 slots. It becomes a dedicated weapon for non-shield pole-users and hoplites, but those hoplites could only take a 1 slot shield and NO backup 1h, so real hoplites (I know hoplites most of the times also had short sword or knives as backup weapons, but meh, balance is not = realism). It should have a penalty for using with a shield of course, but only a little one.
Fighting some like teeth while hes usng this does make it seem abit overpowered, but i honestly think the weapon is fine, its a nice compromise between length, damage and speed for hoplites which makes it a nicely balanced weapon. The price could maybe be increased slightly but that's only a minor thing.Mehh couldnt even kill you. UP!
Stats wise i'd leave it alone.

You really think they just saw my thread this noon and said: Here, lets implement this in the patch were working on for since the last months? Not really :D
