stats:
faster swing speed
less reach

Well, how about:

Pros:
Quanterees a critical hit for every headshot kill
+50% faster weapon switching speed from this weapon

Cons:
no random crits
20% slower attack speed
20% less damage

---

It'd go well with my suggestions for the other weapons too:

The primary

Pros
+20% damage on headshots
+50% weapon switching speed from this weapon

Cons
40% increased reload time

---

The secondary

Pros:
+50% weapon switching speed from this weapon
+100% more accurate
Mini-crits on headshots (Yes, the headshot kills you get with this secondary count toward the melee's crits.)

Cons:
40% reduced damage
no random critical hits

---

together they make a skill-based, headshot focused not randomcritting set.

+50 movement speed when deployed +20 damage when stabbed in back can not crit -10% weapon change speed (inspired by csgo)

5000000000000000000000000000000000% extra damage.

best one here. props to you

I like spAce_99's idea of the melee, just not the main.

1
pros
can be throwed
hitting will root the target for 2 sec

cons
15 sec cooldown when throwed (meaning you cant use melee while on cooldown)
if taking from the rooted target the cooldown will give back melee and throw again
_______________________________________________________________________________

2
pros
if the target has Jar P I S S on them the damage will increase by +50%

cons
crits only does 140% damage
_______________________________________________________________________________

3
pros
cant die
movement speed increases by 200%
attack speed increases by 200%

cons
cant deal damage from any weapon
taking knockback damage will increases its range by 500%

Pros:
switching to this weapon is 50% faster
100% faster swing rate

Cons:
50% reach penalty
40% damage penalty

I like space's idea. He has my vote. Even I don't have my vote. But I'll give my two-cents.
My idea:
Attacks on wounded targets give an medium duration melee attack-speed buff, and a less potent but longer lasting attack-speed debuff. Consecutive attacks add time and magnitude to both status effects. This makes a frenzy style dagger, where the more you hit the faster you strike, but after the rush leaves you are left sluggish and must wait out the de-buff to become effective in melee again.

Pros:
-Minicrits from behind.

Cons:
-No random crits.

It just really looks like it slits throats.
