The '''Tribalman's Shiv''' is an unlockable, community-made [[melee]] weapon for the [[Sniper]] class. When it strikes an enemy, it leaves a seeping wound which [[Bleeding|bleeds out]] for 6 seconds after being inflicted. However, the Knife itself deals 50% less damage as a trade-off. It was released in the second round of content from the [[Contribution page]].

* 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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).
+
* 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 so that the serrated edge would strike the enemy. This required custom animations which neither the creator nor Valve were willing to make. As a result, the animation was never implemented.<ref name="shiv1"/>

* This is the only unlockable Sniper weapon that is a direct variant of the original weapon.

* As shown in the video, the Sniper's viewmodel showed the notches on the Shiv facing toward the opponent, while the world model shows the notches facing towards the Sniper. This was probably an oversight.
 
−
* 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.

−
* Disguised Spies hit by the Shiv will bleed visibly, though the revealing effect is not as obvious as fire. Bleeding also does not reveal team color as fire does.
 
−
* Even though the Tribalman's Shiv is made out of wood, when dropped it still supplies Engineers with 100 points of metal, much like the [[Sandman]] and the [[Huntsman]].
 
−
* 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. The proper kill icons were added by Valve shortly after the Shiv and Skullcutter's introduction when community made icons were sent to them.
 
−
* 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.

* The Tribalman's Shiv was the first weapon to incorporate a bleeding effect in Team Fortress 2. The [[Southern Hospitality]] also uses this effect.

— 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.
