The Big Earner is a melee weapon for the Spy. It is a Template:W with three small bands of blood-stained tape wrapped near the base of the blade.

Equipping this weapon reduces the max health of the user by 25, lowering the Spy's overall health to 100. However, killing an enemy with this weapon, either with a backstab or regular melee attack, will fill the Cloak meter by 30%, regardless of which cloaking device is equipped.

Taunting with the Big Earner equipped allows the Spy to perform a deadly Fencing maneuver.
