I considered something like that myself, but I wanted to push wizards into 
using "silver" daggers, which meant reducing the threshold to 0.1 kg or less 
(the "book" weight of a dagger). 

For that matter I wanted to push wizards into using "silver" arrowheads if 
they used bows or crossbows, but I though that the full -4 Dx for *one* steel 
arrowhead was too much. That's why I settled on -1 Dx per arrowhead, up to -4 Dx 
for 4 or more. 

For "wizards can use steel daggers, but larger weapons give a spellcasting 
penalty" your 0.5 kg threshold is about right (BTW: do you count the rapier 
(book wt 0.5 kg) as being just over or just under your threshold?)
