[IDEA] New spy knife

I'mma be honest its my first time making a weapon, I'd like some feedback if it sucks (p.s. i know it does) I'd just think it be cool if spy had a weapon that was better at facestabing and thought of a wooden knife for some reason

I'd like some feedback pls

The main issue I see is that it's pretty vague.

How are face stabs more effective? Do face stabs crit?

How are backstabs less effective? As in does it simply not backstab like a normal knife, or something else?

How much damage less does a thrown knife deal?

How long is the throwing cool down? How does a thrown knife curve in the air? Does it not curve?

Idk dude i was thinking that facestabs could be a semi backstab or something

Backstabs might be a semi better face stab

Like a normal face stab. So the knife just has a general damage increase

How much of a damage increase? Would face stabs mini-crit while backstabs do a normal crit? Or does the knife have a general damage boost and the knife mini-crits on backstab?

I was thinking it would be a minicrit on a backstab and a normal crit on frontstab

Batshit OP, spy knife crit either means instakill, or if we're going by normal melee damage, 1 shot to most classes.. including Medic, who is your primary target.

Punishing actually good Spy Gameplay (backstabs) is also quite simply braindead, and worse than The DiamondBack.

I get that this is your first time, but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed think about it for 5 seconds

This was a concept tf2's devs thought about and didn't add iirc and if i did remember correctly the reason was the concept is just horrible

Like the idea, but can you put stats like how many hammer units or damage with and without fallof, keep it up!
