}}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. 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]].

Unlike other melee weapons, it only deals 40 damage per hit, and does not [[random crit|randomly crit]]. When slashing a [[Sapper|sapped]] [[Sentry Gun]], the Knife will only deal 33% of its base damage (13, 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. | Unlike other melee weapons, it only deals 40 damage per hit, and does not [[random crit|randomly crit]].
