The Tribalman's Shiv is a community-made melee weapon for the Sniper. It is a stylized Template:W[1] composed of reddish wood with a curved edge in front and a serrated edge on its broad side.
The weapon deals 50% less damage than the Kukri, but causes the opponent to bleed and lose health for 6 seconds. Because of the reduced initial damage, direct contact with the opponent is not advised — the user should instead perform hit and run tactics to take down encroaching enemies like Spies that Cloak when attacked. The Tribalman's Shiv was the first weapon to feature the Bleeding effect.
The kill icon for the Tribalman's Shiv was contributed by NeoDement.

Trivia
- Originally, the creator of the Shiv intended to make the viewmodel as it is now, but on a critical hit the knife would be turned so that the serrated edge would strike the enemy. This required custom animations which neither the creator nor Valve were willing to make. As a result, the animation was never implemented.[1]
- The Tribalman's Shiv took approximately 7 and a half hours to make, from formulating the idea to submitting it.
- The Sniper achievements Dead Reckoning can be earned by killing enemy with bleeding after dead.
- The Sniper achievements Shoot The Breeze can be earned by killing enemy Spy with bleeding while Cloaked.
