The concept behind this is actually very sound. However, mind if I pitch in? For the record, this should be in the feedback section of the forums. Anyways, back to the main point.
1. Deflection should be chance based. A pair of nova knives are not going to be able to deflect every shot because the bullets are just too fast for even the exo-suit-powered arms to catch up. Perhaps make the chances of successful deflection increase with both the tier of the weapon and the passive bonus of related skill books and perhaps maybe a bonus from wearing a particular specialization suit.
2. Currently, there is a way to sprint with the charge held. Melee+R1(hold). This is just a glitch and CCP has mentioned outside of the forums that this is just a place holder mechanic until they allow direct sprint-charge in the next build. The downside with the glitch is that it drains stamina every time you start it and it becomes a complete hindrance when you're in the middle of a 1v1 dance of death.
3. Here is a link to my diaries so you can see all the data I managed to gather while specializing in this rare profession. As you can see, the nova knife was never meant to be used as a frontal-attack weapon. It's a stealth-based weapon that is extremely situational and only benefits the scout user. Once the cloaking modules are put into the market, the knives will become even deadlier. |

"Tier" is the level of the weapon. I think you meant "purpose". In terms of being limited to a particular purpose, it's not a bad thing. I mean, I don't mind seeing people use the nova knives as a frontal-attack weapon, but I do know for a fact that the weapon is designed to shine best in stealth-attack situations such as when I kill folks who are hacking objectives, sniping at my teammates, etc. It's like taking a screw driver, grabbing it by the shank, and hitting the head of the nail with the handle. It might work, but the screw driver is best used to drive screws. |

Amarrians are Catholic. |

In seriousness, I personally dont think the knives need a buff, they seem pretty well balanced in my opinion
Not entirely balanced, but close. The only issues they have is the lack of holding a charge while sprint as well as the limited charge time.
My feedback on the matter.
