The '''Knife''' is the default melee weapon for the [[Spy]]. It is a butterfly knife with solid wooden handles and black grips around them. After backstabbing an enemy, but not after killing them normally, the blade will be covered in blood until the user respawns or goes [[water|underwater]]. As expected, the blood is red regardless of which team the user is on, or which team the killed enemy is on. | The '''Knife''' is the default melee weapon for the [[Spy]].

When slashing a [[Sapper|sapped]] [[Sentry Gun]], the Knife will only deal 67% of its base damage (26 or 27, down from 40). As an upside, it attacks instantly without the 0.2 second delay that other melee weapons have, even though it still attacks at 0.8 second intervals. Uniquely, hitting an enemy's back (defined as a 180° radius behind them) causes the player to backstab the enemy, causing an instantaneous kill by dealing six times their current health as critical damage. This will not kill invulnerable enemies, but will deal a large amount knockback to them. When an enemy is backstabbed, they will loudly scream while performing a unique death animation, alerting nearby enemies of the Spy's presence. Like the [[Revolver]], swinging the knife will remove the Spy's current disguise, and cannot be used while cloaked. | ||

As a consequence, stealth is paramount when wielding it, and going loud is best left to the Revolver. Due to the inherent unpredictability of <i>Team Fortress 2 Classified</i>'s netcode, the backstab detection will often behave in strange ways, including failing to backstab when it appeared possible, or successfully backstabbing when it appeared impossible. The former is called a "failstab" and the latter is called a "facestab". Manipulating enemies to reveal their 180° backstab angle, even for an instant, is a core part of many Spy techniques, collectively called "trickstabs". | ||
Taunting with the Knife will perform the "Fencing" kill taunt. When taunting, the Spy will swing the Knife two times in front of him, dealing 25 damage for each swing, and then deal a final thrust of 500 damage. Despite appearances, the range of each attack is the same. The attack cannot be aimed vertically, and will always occur in front of the Spy. Each attack can deal damage to multiple enemies, and enemy buildings, at once. The first two swings will not deal any knockback, but the final thrust will.
