maybe make the stab give you a brief cloak and speed boost after either killing someone or putting them into crit? (i'd say just on hit, but that might be too powerful, even if the damage is pretty low)
it'd make it more "tf2 spy"-like, although it's not something spies can actually do. it'd differentiate it from other melee weapons, and encourage hit and run tactics
or even add synergies with other traitor items(or make a set of them specifically for this), have it so if you've also got an agent card, voice synth, and/or chameleon jumpsuit, it automatically changes to match whoever you just killed with the knife? - that's basically just the "your eternal reward" from tf2, but it'd be an interesting synergy that doesn't currently exist between traitor items - spending to get the knife and each of those things would take 8 tc, leaving you 4 to spend on extras - the derringer or .22 revolver feel especially thematic!
