Re: (TFT) What does +1 mean... exactally?!?

I am with PVK on this one.  That sort of thing is what talking is for.  The player and the GM discuss it, either before hand, or when it matters.

Let's say the player has enterred a Sweeney-Todd-like shaving contest, confident that his expert barber skills, along with his precision crafted extra sharp plus one dagger, will lead him to an easy victory over his impressively credentialled opponent.

Ad he explains his belief in the sharpness-holding edge of his dagger the GM gets to either concur (what I would do, for a well made blade - magic is different), or explain that the edge keeping is good, but  is not the driver of the bonus (assuming I have some other mechanism in mind, which is somehow important to the game, otherwise, why spoil the shave off).

As to a magic plus one, it just magically adds to the damage, or makes it magically easier to hit.  No need for any further detail, as far as I am concerned.

I'm not saying that your concern is not a real one for you, an possibly others, just that it has never come up for me.

We like to talk about stuff, so it gets talked out.  In the last game, the black iron dwarves made better weapons, due to the quality of the iron, so that's where the plus one dam came from, stronger iron, it also held a better edge, especially for the plus 2 dam.  and plus one to hit is due to the balance imbued by the noble dwarvish craftsmen.  So for me, the answers are generally clear.

Interesting point. 

In all of the games I remember playing in, the GM was generally the authority on everything, with the exception of things the players invented themselves,
