My katana is getting bonus damage from swashbuckler's insightful strike, but my off-hand wakizashi does not. I've tried unequipping the katana so that the wakizashi ends up in the main hand (as I quickly tested dual wielding with a shortsword and dagger on another char and was able to get bonus damage on both weapons, by equipping each in the main hand and then properly dual wielding them), but no luck.
It just seems as if it should be possible to get the bonus damage on a wakizashi. I'm guessing it's either because it's an off-hand-only weapon or because it isn't finessable (it's on a strength character, so I can't quite check that). If it isn't finessable that also seems like it should be a finessable weapon and might be an oversight.
Edit: turns out I could check that with cat's grace potions and swapping gear. When buffing my dexterity higher than strenght, the attack bonus did increase, so it must have to do with being an off-hand-only type weapon (although you can get it in the main hand as mentioned, which would also be a necessary workaround to get the bonus currently, if it did work, as normal weapons in the off hand won't get the bonus either, until it's been in the main hand first).

Re: Wakizashi: no bonus damage from Insightful Strike
Just making it a bit more organized with the template.
Description of Bug Experienced:
When dual wielding a wakizashi, wearing light armor and having insightful strike, I'd expect the wakizashi to receive bonus damage, but it does not.
Steps to reproduce the Bug:
1: have 3+ levels of swashbuckler, wear light armor
2: dual wield katana and wakizashi
(3: optionally, unequip the main weapon so that the wakizashi ends up in the main hand. For other weapons, putting it in the main hand first and then off-handing it will allow both it and the main weapon to have the bonus, but this does not work for the wakizashi.)
Expected Result:
Both the main weapon and wakizashi gets bonus damage from insightful strike
Actual Result:
Only the main weapon gets bonus damage.
