The Saxxy is a limited melee weapon for all classes. It is an 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 their buildings. Its distinguishing feature, however, is that enemies killed by it will turn into motionless golden statues instead of ragdolls, similar to the Golden Wrench. This 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.

Update history
May 5, 2011 Patch (Replay Update)
- [Undocumented] Materials for the Saxxy were added to the game.
- The Saxxy was added to the game.
- [Undocumented] One-handed melee animations have been added for most classes, currently for use with the Saxxy.
Bugs
- The Saxxy allocates many unfitting class taunts and sound effects, such as those of the Demoman's Bottle, the Pyro's melee taunt, and the Scout's Bat.
- The Saxxy does not have distinguishing icons for backstabs, the Fencing taunt, or the Showdown taunt.
- The Saxxy does not Cloak with the Spy during first person view.
- Voice responses related to melee weapons have no discretion when the Saxxy is equipped.
- Miscellaneous and slot items equipped will not be frozen upon death by this weapon.
- After eating a Buffalo Steak Sandvich, a Heavy is able to switch from the Saxxy to his primary weapon.
- 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 the Saxxy is equipped, killing an enemy with the Chargin' Targe shield bash will cause the ragdoll to turn gold.
- If a backstab with this weapon triggers an animation on the target, his statue will only freeze once the animation ends.
Trivia
- As with a Golden Wrench, in the event a Saxxy is deleted by its owner, a message will be broadcast in-game to all players.
