I'm guessing your Bandit's Knife is +10? Firstly if you're doing backstabs or ripostes, the Bandit's Knife will obviously win out due to its high crit multiplier. In general however remember that while the Bandit's Knife has scaling, the Dark Hand has none. If you have high dexterity, B scaling could easily account for that damage.

The damage you see when looking at the weapon is only its base damage, not accounting for any scaling. To see a weapon's true attack rating go to the start menu and look at your stats. There it will tell you the attack rating of all four weapons you currently have equipped.
