*This melee dual wields, press 1 mouse button then another to increase weapon attack speed.

+Higher jump when held out.

-25% less dmg

-10% bullet vulnerability (To counter allowing mobility for a long range class)

Since this seems to be inspired by kusarigama, let's try to implement the chain weapon aspect of this. IRL kusarigama used to chain to disarm, and the hook to kill. But there doesn't seem to be any proper chain here, though I think that could change.

+ alt-fire to send chain hook that pulls people towards you. (moderate distance, not as much as the grappling hook, and travels as fast as a standard rocket)
+ 3rd hit in a row always crits
- 50% damage penalty
- While throwing hook you cannot switch weapons until the hook returns (you have to commit, you can't do weapon combos)

not the best at weapon stats, but here goes nothin

*No random crits, every third hit guarantees a crit (basically the gunslinger stat) (maybe each swing looks different for extra visual flare? first swing is the right sickle, second is the right sickle and the crit hit is both sickles slamming down? idk)
+33% movement speed while active (not passive)
+15% swing speed
-30% damage penalty
-Damage cannot be boosted via Jarate (not incapable of mini-crits, cleaner's carbine works just fine, just Jarate specifically has no effect)

The basic idea is a melee designed for sustained fight against someone who really wasn't expecting you to suddenly be moving at the speed of a scout. obviously a quickscope would kill just as fast but it's predicable, and giving sniper some more mixup options would add some more diversity to the matchup. actual numbered values might not work in practice, just put there for concept.

To be honest, this would probably just be a Tribalman's Shiv reskin.
