Knife Knife Attack an enemy from behind to backstab them for a one-hit kill "For the man who loves to watch things unfold."

The Knife is the default melee weapon for the Spy. It is a butterfly knife.

It only deals 40 damage per hit, but the knife lacks windup like other melee weapons have, so each hit deals its damage instantly. However, hitting an enemy at a 180° radius of its back causes the player to backstab the enemy, causing an instantaneous kill, assuming the enemy does not have invulnerability.
