#melee AoO ... Hell. We don't use psionic die that much so even expand a psionic die to manifest the blade as part of a reaction to AoO

So. Turn 1. - Psychic blades + AB Psychic blade - Free interaction do unsheath a real weapon to maybe have the AoO triggered.
Turn 2 : - Drop the weapon ( no action or free interaction required if I believe Sage Advice ) so we have both hands free to do the Psychic Blades combo. - Free interaction to pick up the weapon back to trigger the AoO. Repat ad nauseam. I was thinking about it but I can't believe that the only way for Soulknives to effectively use an AoO is to have this behaviour but here we are. That's the only thing I can think of that is RAW friendly. Soulknives have been thought to not use their AoO or to have it to cost their free interaction by having the silliest behaviour on a battlefield. This is hilarious.
Or is it because they thought other rogue would do better (and do better in theory) with a rapier and never dual wields because they don't get TwF bonuses and have a better use of the BA with disengage/hide. Thus, having 1 attack/turn and the AoO to trigger the hopefully 2nd SA. So we stay with 2 chances of triggering the SA.
I don't know. It's still silly they can't AoO. Or Soulknives really were thought to be used at distance, hence the steady aim feature in Tasha. I don't know. Watch me drop / pick up my dagger or my whip and carefully chose where I place myself if I Psychic Blade.
