The '''Tribalman's Shiv''' is a craftable [[melee]] weapon for the [[Sniper]] class. It is a wooden machete, consisting of a reddish brown wood for the blade and a typical brown wood for the handle. The blade has both a serrated edge and a smooth sharp edge.

{{Quotation|'''The Sniper''' on bleed damage|Let's see how much blood's in ya!|sound=Sniper meleedare05.wav}}
  
When struck, this weapon leaves a seeping wound in the enemy which [[Bleeding|bleeds out]] for 6 seconds, having an effect similar to afterburn. The bleeding causes a more rapid health loss than afterburn, but lasts for a shorter time span. However, the Shiv itself deals 50% less damage as a result. Direct conflict is therefore not a viable strategy for this weapon, requiring the player to perform hit and run tactics in order to take down encroaching enemies and [[Spies]] that [[Cloak]] once attacked. Its [[Critical hit]] animation is identical to the [[Kukri]]; a double handed overhead swing.

The weapon deals 50% less damage than the [[Kukri]], but causes the opponent to [[Bleeding|bleed]] and lose health for 6 seconds. Because of the reduced initial damage, direct contact with the opponent is not advised — the user should instead perform hit and run tactics to take down encroaching enemies like [[Spy|Spies]] that [[cloak]] when attacked.

* Formerly, if an enemy were to die from the [[bleeding]] effect of the Tribalman's Shiv, the HUD would display the kill icon of the weapon you were holding when the enemy died. If you were dead or holding [[Jarate]] while the enemy was killed by the bleeding effect, the kill icon displayed would be the suicide/environmental death kill icon.

{{Blueprint
* The Tribalman's Shiv, along with the [[Homewrecker]], the [[Scotsman's Skullcutter]] and the [[Pain Train]], did not originally have a kill icon, instead using the suicide/environmental death icon.

}}
  
==Trivia==
+
== Strange variant ==
* The Tribalman's Shiv is made entirely of wood. Since several plants from tropical areas possess anticoagulant properties (blood-thinners), it has been theorized that the blade may be carved from the wood of one of these plants, (such as a [[wikipedia:Boldo|Boldo tree]]) which would account for it inflicting a profusely-bleeding wound. This would be intentional on Valve's part though, as the creator of the Shiv did not think this (though he has admitted it is logical, and cool).
+
{{Strange item info
* Originally, the creator of the Shiv intended to make the viewmodel as it is now, but on a Critical hit the knife would be turned around so that the notched side struck the enemy. However, this did not get implemented as it required custom animations, which neither the creator nor Valve were willing to make.
+

Let's see how much blood's in ya!
The Sniper on bleed damage

The Tribalman's Shiv is a community-created melee weapon for the Sniper. It is a stylized kukri[1] composed of reddish wood with a curved edge in front and a serrated edge on its broad side.

The weapon deals 50% less damage than the Kukri, but causes the opponent to bleed and lose health for 6 seconds. Because of the reduced initial damage, direct contact with the opponent is not advised — the user should instead perform hit and run tactics to take down encroaching enemies like Spies that cloak when attacked.

The kill icon for the Tribalman's Shiv was contributed by NeoDement.

The Tribalman's Shiv was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
