The Heavy

The Ham Shank is a community-created promotional melee weapon for all classes, except Engineer and Spy. It is based on the Ham Bat from the video game Don't Starve; a large, floppy chunk of cartoony ham with a bone stuck inside, which is used as a handle.

This weapon functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Don't Starve on Steam before April 23rd, 2013.

The Ham Shank was contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
