Why does one position inside a CFrame.new translate to another position?

I'm trying to clone the handle of a tool and place it at Mouse.Hit.p after I throw a knife and it touches an object, but for some reason it sends the clone to another position, I added a print to see where are the positions I click on and for example these positions:

-34, 15.6115894, 597.152893 -36, 16.7761078, 619.217163 -30, 28.9170475, 602.622864

Were all sent to:

0, -340282346638528859811704183484516925440, 0

And they are basically floating somewhere in oblivion, I tried to zoom to them but I can't see them, I am also not pressing on the skybox, I am clicking on existing parts in the world, here is the code as well:

pcall(function() 
        local decorKnife = handle:Clone()
        for _,v in pairs (decorKnife:GetChildren()) do if not v:IsA("FileMesh") then v:Destroy() end end
        print(mousep)
        decorKnife.Anchored = true
        decorKnife.CFrame = CFrame.new(mousep, mousep) -- here it basically sends it to oblivion for some reason
        decorKnife.Name = "Decoration"
        decorKnife.Parent = workspace       
end)

I thought it may be a studio error so I tried it in-game, but the same thing happens in a server, I also tried to position it after I give it a parent, tried it without pcall, but nothing works...

where do you define what mousep is? also it is mouse.X and mouse.Y Ind1v1duals 43 — 6y

Inside a local script inside the tool:

-- Skipped everything unnecessary
rf = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteThrow")
tool = script.Parent
handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
rf:InvokeServer((mouse.Hit.p - handle.CFrame.p).unit, mouse.Hit.p)

Inside the server script inside the handle:

handle = script.Parent
tool = handle.Parent
rf = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteThrow")
function rf.OnServerInvoke(player, direction, mousep)
-- some unnecessary code
pcall(function() 
        local decorKnife = handle:Clone()
        for _,v in pairs (decorKnife:GetChildren()) do if not v:IsA("FileMesh") then v:Destroy() end end
        print(mousep)
        decorKnife.Anchored = true
        decorKnife.CFrame = CFrame.new(mousep, mousep) -- here it basically sends it to oblivion for some reason
        decorKnife.Name = "Decoration"
        decorKnife.Parent = workspace       
end)
