The Spy on fireproof knives

The Spy-cicle is a community-created melee weapon for the Spy. It is a long, light blue icicle.

Whilst having the same damage and speed capabilities as the Knife, kills made with the Spy-cicle will be silent and turn the victim into solid ice, similar to Australium-infused weapons. In addition, if the Spy is hit by fire with the weapon active, it will melt and instantly extinguish the Spy while rendering him immune to any further fire and afterburn for 2 seconds. The effect is fast enough that a Cloaked Spy will remain undamaged and undetected even under point-blank Flamethrower fire, only taking damage from the first flame particle. However, the melted icicle is rendered unusable in the process, taking 15 seconds to regenerate.

The Spy-cicle was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Cold Shoulder".
