Knife
From TF2 Wiki
Information
The Knife (also known as Butterfly knife, Balisong and flip knife) 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, not even during humiliation (even though it visually appears that it does). The Kritzkrieg has no effect on it.
The Knife used from the side or front is the second weakest melee weapon in the game, behind the Axtinguisher. 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.
Damage
- Point blank: 28-54
- Critical Hit: No random crit, but an instant kill if you backstab a target while standing in a 180° area behind them.
Note: Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.
