I wasn't around during Spy mode's heyday, but the main issue with it was that is basically turned into a station-wide deathmatch due to any stealthy recon work phasing out in favor of "blast/stab everyone not on your team" strategies. Spy needs to have more of a focus on spying and less on out-and-out murder in order to be successful.
Therefore, I think that Spymasters should not have murdergear specific to them like the dagger. If the point of being a spy is to outfox and befuddle your opponents, giving them a slightly-scaled-down butcher knife is completely counterintuitive. If they want to rampage, they're going to need to outsmart the people storing the weapons (security, QM, captain) to get there.
