If you want to finesse, you pay 1 EWP feat for 1 point of extra damage over the rapier, and that's hardly worth it.
At least the Aldori Defender is not that terribly focused on Disarming - you basically have to invest one feat's worth into it. A dedicated Disarmer is probably not worth it in KM since most of the time you'll be fighting monsters, so Disarm feats will do squat for you.

That said, it might be a nice run if you're in for a challenge and are fed up with playing powerbuilds. ;)
That certainly matches my experience trying to fight with finesse in 3E/PF. Still, the option is there, which is more than I expected, so I won't dismiss it just yet.
