This mod replaces (almost) all melee weapons' stats with those of either the Shinsakuto Katana or the Ice Pick. Now even on DSOD you can enjoy the cocky charm of twirling a butterfly knife without sacrificing combat effectiveness!
Some weapons have their animations replaced as well to better fit the hit timing like the Fire Axe and both bats. It also looks much better.
On some weapons like the Pickaxe, running too soon after meleeing can cause the weapon to override your gun, or be lain through it. This is a vanilla issue as well, I cannot fix it.
Intentionally unaffected weapons are:
Kunai Knife
Buzzer
Stainless Steel Syringe
Electrical Brass Knuckles
Comically Large Spoon of Gold
Weapon Butt
Weapons unaffected because I couldn't get their IDs:
Monkey Wrench
Hackaton
El Verdugo
Push Daggers
Knuckle Daggers
El Ritmo
Kento's Tanto
Comically Large Spoon (and of Gold)
If IDs are provided, this will be updated.
Thank you to Pinkanator for the above IDs!
Feedback appreciated! As I cannot code, code was modified from Alpha Mauler Ice Pick and Greatsword Katana by crato and CturiX respectively.

Realising your melee is utility tool and isnt 3rd weapon to constantly use unless you're playing below mayhem (true for like 98% of players):
I'm no sweat, and I'm with you on the point that high-level players are irritating sometimes, but I made this so all weapons are the best weapons, and me wanting to kill cops with a stack of Benjamins doesn't force me to sacrifice effectiveness.
