— The Spy on rose-engraved knives
 ”

The Black Rose is a promotional melee weapon for the Spy. It is a partially serrated, double-edged butterfly knife. Roses are engraved along the blade, and a symbol of an encircled rose is imprinted on the handles. The weapon has two styles: The "Mystery and True Love" style is team-colored, while the "Baccara" style colors the weapon almost entirely black.

This weapon functions identically to the Knife.

Taunting with the Black Rose equipped will perform the Fencing kill taunt.

This item was awarded to players who completed the Alliance of Valiant Arms achievement 1st One Down by creating a character and playing their first game. In addition, this achievement also unlocked the Holy Mackerel melee weapon for use in Alliance of Valiant Arms. As of June 29, 2018 said game has shut down, rendering this item no longer obtainable.
