Most likely has been already thought of, but honestly i don't feel like going through every page to find if it has... What if there was a weapon, as fast as the Short Sword, but gave a knockback to it? not necessarily as big as a hammer, but more on the lines of a little more then a Short Sword, but with knockback.
Sounds like the LSS to me ;)

Does the LSS have knockback?

Sure does. Would be interesting to see someone with high strength using it.
meh. I mean more of a shorter weapon then that.

The LSS more or less exactly fits that description.

I'm pretty sure he meant something with relatively low damage, the inability to hit multiple targets, and not a ~1:100,000 chance of dropping.

Hmm, what immediately comes to mind would be a "Stone Gauntlet" dropped from RB, low/medium damage, very low knockback, cooldown of short sword. Perhaps it would have the same animation as the punch, with the end of the stone hammer as the gauntlet.
Anyways, the problem I see with the weapon you're suggesting is it could in effect abuse PvP, disabling people from ever attacking, there should be some major drawbacks to the weapon that would cause it to be used only strategically, and not as your primary waepon.

Stone gauntlet is a good idea. It could attack like an uppercut punch, causing extremely minor knock-back, and extremely low base damage, maybe even like 1 Base damage but it gives +3 str, sort of how the scythe boosts. The attack would be maybe 1-2 frames more than the regular punch. The whole concept of the weapon would be an attack canceler, as it doesn't do much damage nor enough knock-back for ring outs. Attacks fast enough to be effective but not so fast that it can be abused by hotkeys. Also it's stamina drain should be the same or slightly greater than the spire dagger. Thoughts?

To use it for said purposes, just have a high Stamina requirement. And I mean high. So not only would this disable your said problem, but it would also give a use for the INT stat to go beyond 7. You would start to see builds that are INT only because of the weapon. And as long as the amount of stamina used is balanced on the weapon, it would not become super weak nor super over powered.
