If you use Kamas you will still get the same amount of attacks and can still buy or find magical kamas that have these bonuses. Plus when you get knockdown for free with the monk you will be a sneak attacking mofo. I am pretty sure Kamas are light weapons and can benefit from the weapon finess feat too. Another fun combo is Monk 6/rogue 5/Blackguard X. You get some cool abilities, decent sneak attack, fun summons and with a few charisma points you have some decent saves. Anyways,

Monk gloves can overcome damage reduction just like magical weapons, unless they've changed it in some patch. All you need if you face an enemy with, say, 20/+3 damage reduction is to buy a glove that have an enchantment bonus of +3 or greater. This makes the Ki Strike +4 and +5 feats completely reduntant.
Monk gloves don't give you a bonus to damage, though, just AB.
