— The Spy after sapping too much health from opponents
 ”

The Conniver's Kunai is a community-created promotional melee weapon for the Spy. It is a Japanese kunai dagger with a cloth-bound handle that ends in a ring.

Equipping this weapon reduces the user's max health by 55, (reducing his total health to 70, and total overheal from medics to 105). Upon a successful backstab, degenerative effects such as afterburn and bleed end. The victim's total health, including overheal, is then added to the user's own health. This heals any damage taken, and then applies the remainder in the form of an overheal, capping out at a minimum of 75 and a maximum of 210. When the Conniver's Kunai is equipped, the Spy's overheal mechanic functions differently from a standard overheal, depleting at 2 health per second. A full overheal applied by a Medic fades in 15 seconds, while a full overheal applied through the Conniver's Kunai (at 210 health) fades in 60 seconds.

Taunting with the Conniver's Kunai equipped results in the Fencing kill taunt.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011.
