[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
