I would love to see a knife incorporated as a permanent melee weapon. If I knew about smokers I would sure carry one. Heres my pitch, when you are attacked by a smoker or hunter, make it one melee to block the attack, and if the attack is successful, make it three melee's with a gun to get a team mate off, or one melee with a knife. Make it transferable as with pistols. Make the knife usable as a smoker defense weapon. You know that split second where you can shoot the smoker just before he gets you, well instead of only shooting, have it to where you can melee with the knife to be set free. You can carry the knife with one pistol, or alone. You will be forced to loose the ability to carry knife and pistol when you pickup 2nd pistol. Reason is because when you are attacked by the smoker and cut off the tounge he will be stunned, if you have the knife and one pistol you can immediatly shoot, but one pistol is less accurate than two. But if you have two pistols, when you cut the tounge you will have to change back to a gun or double pistols to shoot at the smoker. So you will have ;Knife+Pistol= 4 shots before smoker runs ;Knife then double pistols= 2 shots ;Knife then rifle and shotgun=1shot ;knife and fully auto gun=3 shots

Just my thoughts
