Upon taunting with any melee weapon except the Sharp Dresser, the Spy gracefully tosses his weapon to his left hand and begins to practice a deadly fencing maneuver, resulting in damage or death for anyone slow, unaware or simply unfortunate enough to be in the way.
Enemies hit by the first two initial swipes will suffer minimal damage and will receive knock back, while the last thrust is an instant kill. The taunt can kill multiple enemies if it connects on both the stabs and thrusts. Fencing can also destroy buildings upon impact.
As with all Kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.
