The Saxxy is a limited melee weapon for all classes. It is a 75% Australium-plated statuette of Saxton Hale set into a small plinth.
This weapon acts identically to the default melee weapon of each class, sharing the same statistics and abilities. As such, Spies can perform backstabs and Engineers can upgrade and repair their buildings. Its distinguishing feature, however, is that enemies killed by it will turn into motionless golden statues of pure Australium instead of ragdolls, a trait shared with the Golden Wrench. This gold effect applies to jiggle bones which freeze in place.
The Saxxy was awarded to the winners of the First Annual Saxxy Awards in their respective categories. Winning entries created by more than one player resulted in Saxxys being bestowed to each contributor; the award was not limited to the submitter.

- In world view the Engineer holds the Saxxy with the same animation as his default Wrench, with both hands. However in client view he holds it with one hand like everyone else.
- If a backstab with this weapon triggers an animation on the target, they will appear to turn into gold, but the body behaves like a normal ragdoll.
