A  prestige class you might want to take is Reaping Mauler, for it's bonuses  to grapple (Complete Warrior 75.) At which point, if you're considering  Orc or Half-Orc, you'll want the Clever Wrestler feat (Complete Warrior  97), or if you don't mind the level adjustment, go for Half-Giant or  Goliath. In terms of items, Gloves of Fearsome Grip and Belt of Giant's  Strength are a must. Basically, you're making a grapple build, but using  a knife instead of unarmed strike. I'm not sure what to go for to  improve light weapons using a strength based build, but you might want  to invest in feats like Flick of the Wrist.</blockquote>
