The Spy on rose-engraved knives

The Black Rose is a promotional melee weapon for the Spy. It is based on the Rose-Engraved Knife from the video game Alliance of Valiant Arms; a partially serrated, double-edged butterfly knife, with roses engraved along the blade and a symbol of an encircled rose imprinted on the handles.

This item has two styles, named "Mystery and True Love" and "Baccara". The "Mystery and True Love" style is team-colored, while the "Baccara" style colors the weapon almost entirely black.
