Fire axe

From TF2 Wiki

Information

The fire axe is the melee weapon of the Pyro class. In most circumstances, the Flame Thrower is a much better choice for targets in melee range. The fire axe is typically used on unaware enemies and for humilation purposes as it has a high crit chance which the flamethrower does not. The crit animation for the fire axe is a swift right to left horizontal swing.

According to Valve statistics, the fire axe boasts nearly three times the range of any other melee weapon. This is probably a bug in the statistics, judging by actual in-game tests and the December 20, 2007 Patch notes ("Fixed occasional misreporting of syringe gun & fireaxe damage distances to the stats system").
