The Big Earner reduces your health to 100, but backstabbing enemies gives you 30% of your cloak back. This is a tradeoff weapon, as it allows you to escape better but with less health. Use this knife when you're going for aggresive and risky backstabbing, so that you can escape and find another victim easier. It is recommended that you use the Cloak and Dagger or the Dead Ringer, as these watches benefit from the increased cloak more.

====Disguise Kit====
The Disguise Kit allows the Spy to disguise as any other class on your team or the enemy's. Using the Kit brings up a cigarette bag which allows you to choose from a list of classes. Pressing "-" toggles the disguises to the colour of your own team. Press b to don your previous disguise. When disguised, you look to your teammates as normal with the exception of a paper mask you're disguised as, but to the enemy, you look exactly like one of them. You also take on the name of the person of that class, or a random person on that team if they don't have players using the class you're disguised as, and you get their weapon loadouts, fake health meters that are exactly the same to their health, the movement speed of your disguised character and can be healed by enemy Medics and Dispensers. Sentries will also not target you while disguised. When disguised, pressing b switches your disguised class' weapon to your own weapon slot, while reloading your Revolver also plays the reloading animation of that character if they're holding a gun. Different disguises have different levels of believability and surprise.


A set of cigarettes that allows the spy to choose which class to appear as. You can choose any of the nine classes, as well as the team to disguise as.
# Disguising as a Scout is the least convincing disguise of all, since you can't match the Scout's speed or their Double Jump. However, the Scout can be surprising as enemies don't expect a Scout disguise. the Scout's model is also quite small, so while your actual hitbox isn't smaller, you can hide behind objects without being visually spotted by enemies. Try to pretend you're taking cover and don't move to much to minimize enemy suspicion.
 
# Disguising as a Soldier is a good unexpected disguise for stabbing slower targets like enemy Soldiers and Heavies. However, your reduced movement speed will make it hard to backstab quicker classes or dodge enemy fire. Try to enter the enemy lines unsuspiciously while walking backwards reloading your Revolver, since Soldiers usually backpedal to their frontlines while reloading their Rocket Launchers.
When you set a disguise, the weapon you were wielding determines the weapon you will appear to carry. If you want to switch displayed weapons, switch to the desired primary, secondary or melee weapon class, and press the Last Disguise command (normally {{kbd|B}}).
# Disguising as a Pyro is not too bad. He moves at normal speed, has reason for hiding in an ambush position, usually stays among teammates and guards sentry guns. However, you're usually expected to be spychecking other teammates, so they might spycheck you if they don't see you blasting flames around them. Also, if you're ignited by an enemy Pyro, it'll be immediately obvious to the enemy that you're a spy, as Pyro's cannot be ignited.
# Disguising as a Demoman has it's advantages and disadvantages. you're slower, but not by much. You are usually expected to stay in an enemy base, and Demos are used in offense and defense. However, Demomen are expected to spam their projectiles or place stickies, so the disguise is only useful for a quick glance fooling, and will be seen through after extended periods of obxervation.
# Heavy's poor move speed and big size makes him a rare disguise, but that can give you the element of surprise! Your reduced move speed means you cannot chase enemies for backstabs, so try to roam around common routes and simply backstab enemies as they pass by. You are not expected to be constantly firing your Minigun, so the enemy won't grow suspicious if you don't use it. However, the reduced move speed and large size still makes it a poor disguise.
# The Engineer disguise is generally used for taking down enemy sentry nests. You have a good reason to stay near buildings, but foes will get suspicious when they don't see you constantly swinging your wrench or if you have their name. Therefore, when using this disguise, enter a sentry nest, quickly take down the buildings and it's Engineer and escape.
# A Medic disguise isn't a reliable disguise. Your slower move speed than a real Medic is not much of a problem when compared to emulating a Medic's beaviour. As soon as wounded opponents see you, they would come asking for you to heal, which you can't do. You are also frequently surrounded by the enemy team, which makes backstabbing and escaping difficult. However, since enemies usually let Medics follow them from behind, you're given a perfect opportunity to backstab them.
# Sniper disguises are generally used to take down other Snipers at the common sniping spots. However, your inability to scope may make enemies suspicious. However, you can trick the enemies into believing you more by having your own Snipers aim at you and miss. This will convince other players that you are unscoped and hiding merely because you're avoiding getting shot by an enemy Sniper.
# Spies are a decent disguise, since you can go about your normal behaviour without being too suspicious. However, note that your disguise smoke and cloak effect is still the same colour as your actual team, which can give you away. Also, some paranoid players will fire at any Spy, even ones on their own team, so you risk getting exposed by these players.
