The Syndicate Dagger is an interesting item. It's a small weapon found only in surplus crates that does decent damage and can stun people instantly, though for a short duration, if thrown. It is essentially a weaker version of the Chef's Knife, which does more damage and can gib corpses. However, they make up for this by being a lot more inconspicuous, fitting in a pocket easily and allowing for hit and run assassinations with the throw stun.
I think they could fill a niche that no other item currently fills, a lower cost, stealth oriented melee item. There is only one melee weapon available to all classes, the saber, which will put the whole station on red alert the moment they hear the telltale sounds. It is also quite expensive, at 7 crystals. The chainsaw and knife both cost 6 and only the knife, which is restricted to a single class is anything close to suited for stealthy melee traitors.
My suggestion is to put the dagger into the telecrystal purchase menu at the price of 3-5 or so crystals. This would give people something similar to the 22 for melee, weaker than its more expensive brothers, but cheap and quiet. It could essentially serve the purpose of a sidearm while leaving enough crystals for you to stock up for your main gimmick.
