The Saw is the stock melee weapon for the Doctor. It is a grey optimized surgeon saw.
A small health pack will spawn in the place where an enemy is killed by the Doctor. On top of that, the Doctor also gains an extra +50% health from health packs.

Tips
- This weapon comes in handy as a finisher/self defense tool, especially against Arsonists to minimize the effects of fire damage and afterburn.
- 50% extra health from health kits may not sound like much, but it can really make a difference between life and death, especially when being chased by the enemy team.

Trivia
- The 2016 model was taken from a Team Fortress 2 custom weapon called The Highlander.
- The Saw used to have a much stiffer swinging animation, where the character instead flicks their entire arm, contorting it to land a swing.
- This animation was also used on other unlockable saws, and is currently still used on the Pestilence Poker, presumably as a placeholder.
