The weapon is one of the weakest weapons in the game, but with the backstab, it posseses the only reliable instant kill attack in the game. While holding this weapon out, the spy will hold it normally, but once you come into the range of backstabbing, the spy will automatically reverse his grip on the knife, and attacking during this time will register as a backstab. The backstab range is actually quite wide, in that you can get a backstab while facing to the side of the enemy. | |||
The backstab is one of your main tools of assasination. Go for high-priority targets such as Medics or Snipers and pick them off. Remember that backstabbing an enemy will make them emit a loud dying scream which can alert enemies of your presence, so run or cloak as soon as you perform one. Never wildly swing the Knife wildly at an enemy, as it deals little to no damage. Switch to your Revolver when discovered instead. | |||

This is the Spy's unlockable knife. It disables your ability to disguise, but upon a successful backstab you instantaneously disguise as your victim, and your victim will not scream upon death or drop the body, nor will the kill appear on the enemy's kill feed. The lack of a Disguise Kit means you must rely mostly on your cloak. Try infiltrating into a bunch of distracted enemies while cloaked. Then, as they're busy fighting your teammates, take them out one by one from behind. The silenced kills and instant diaguising can let you backstab multiple enemies unnoticed. Have a disguise already as you approach a Sentry nest guarded by an Engineer and you can backstab the Engineer there then easily sap his buildings, since the disguise is quick enough that sentries doesn't notice it. | |||
When using Your Eternal Reward, try focusing on backstabbing enemies with disguises you want. You don't want to get stuck with an unconvincing or inconvenient disguise like a Scout or Heavy. Backstabbing an enemy being healed by a Medic also let's you get be the next heal target. you can also do the same by backstabbing a foe under a non-invulnerable Ubercharge and be the next receiver of the charge. | |||
Be sure to use this knife carefully when you have a disguise, as a failed backstab will cause you to lose your disguise with little way to obtain it again, usually while you're deep inside enemy territory. Also, while a backstabbed foe won't drop his body, his weapons are still dropped, and observant enemy players can still spot you disguising. A backstabbed foe will also know that you are carrying the Your Eternal Reward, an inform teammates through text or voice chat about your presence. | |||
