The Flying Guillotine is a community-created promotional secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a meat cleaver with the Chinese characters for "dead meat" (死肉, sǐròu) above the grip.

Unlike the Pistol, the Flying Guillotine is a unique ranged weapon that is thrown in an arc as a projectile. Primary and secondary fire flings the cleaver at enemies, dealing damage and inflicting bleeding for up to 5 seconds, but it has no effect against buildings or after bouncing off a surface. The weapon cannot roll for random Critical hits. Once the weapon is thrown, it recharges after approximately six seconds. The recharge time can be sped up by 1.5 seconds if the player hits an enemy from long range. A long-range hit is determined by how long the Guillotine is flying in the air, with 0.5 seconds being the minimum to be considered long range.[1] Unlike the projectile of the Sandman, it cannot be picked up from the ground to refill the meter. Like most projectiles, the cleaver can be reflected by an enemy Pyro's compression blast. The Flying Guillotine cannot be fired underwater.

The Flying Guillotine has a maximum range; upon traveling a long enough distance, it acts as if it has "landed" and does not deal damage to opponents that it may or may not have "hit".

This item has two styles, named "Thirsty" and "Thirstier". The "Thirsty" style gives the weapon a clean appearance, while the "Thirstier" style adds bloodstains to the blade.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 17, 2012.

The Flying Guillotine was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
