Despair

"Used by the Stalker, DESPAIR throwing blades have a mono-filament edge, sharp enough to penetrate a warframe."

- In-Game Description

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * Silent.
 * Appears to be capable of higher ranges than the Kunai. (needs confirmation)
 * Deals Armor Piercing damage.
 * Deals 50% more damage to medium Grineer units.
 * Can penetrate straight through enemies, allowing it to hit multiple enemies if lined up (Bugged, only seems to work when you are host. Lag makes it work incorrectly.)
 * Like the Kunai, the Despair has two polarity slots ideal for Hornet Strike and Barrel Diffusion for maximum damage.
 * Higher Base Damage than the Kunai.
 * Very fast Reload Speed. Can be improved much further, with the Quickdraw mod.
 * Can be fired fully automatic, like an Assault Rifle. (Holding your fire button down.)
 * Great Fire Rate. Further enhanced by using the Gunslinger mod.
 * The Arc of each throw, although random, still allow you to accomplish headshots on enemies behind cover.
 * Infested Runners do not explode on death when killed by this weapon.
 * Does full damage to every bodypart of Infested Ancients.

Disadvantages:
 * Only deals half damage to light Infested units.
 * Non-Hitscan Weapon. Projectiles have a Travel Time, unsuitable against moving targets at long distances.
 * (*)Trajectory can be inconsistent, making longer ranged throws more difficult.
 * Alongside the Trajectory being inconsistent, though it is listed as 100% accurate, The Despair Kunais have a random, although tight spread with every throw.
 * The knife (projectile) will always hit exactly where the users target reticule is lined up with; the vector it takes to get there may differentiate.
 * Requires an even larger amount of materials to craft compared to Kunai
 * While you are holding this weapon, your Spin Attack (Slide Melee) does not get speed boost.
 * Does not stagger like the Kunai.
 * Affected by Bullet Attractor (General Sargas Ruk's power)
