Information
The Knife (also known as Butterfly knife or Balisong) is the Spy's melee weapon as well as the weapon most responsible for his kills. Spies usually sneak behind enemies to backstab them, which can kill the target in one hit if striking any part of the enemy while standing in a radius of 180° behind them. Uniquely, Critical hits do not occur randomly with the knife, but they do happen during humiliation and when critboosted by The Kritzkrieg.
The Knife used from the side or front is the third weakest melee weapon in the game, behind the Axtinguisher and the Equalizer at 200 Health or more. From this angle each hit is roughly as weak as the Scout's Baseball bat, but the Spy lacks the Scout's movement speed to close in on a target and the knife attacks at a slower rate than the bat. Rely on evasion or the Revolver for medium range combat or in situations where a backstab is difficult to achieve.
Taunting with the knife equipped makes the Spy perform a deadly fencing maneuver.
