The Swift Stiletto is a melee weapon for the Agent. It is an Italian dagger with two small black bands on the blade and a black grip.
Upon a kill, the user is both given 30% of their cloak back, and a speed boost for a couple of seconds, allowing for easy escapes and chainstabs. However, the user's max health is reduced by 25, leaving you at 100 max health.
The health penalty can be extremely punishing to those miss the first stab, as less health means a tougher time escaping after being discovered.

Tips
- As with any knife, getting a backstab leaves you with two decisions: either to escape unharmed, or go in further for more backstabs. The Swift Stiletto helps you to do both of these quicker and safer.
- Use the speed gained from backstabs to quickly kill another victim before they can turn their back away.
- Gaining a 30% of the cloak duration back on kill lets the user escape more easily and can make the difference between life and death. It offers an essentially free escape option upon a successful pick.
- Using this with the Dead Ringer can allow you to offset the lower maximum health as well as provide an easy getaway with the combined speed boosts.
- The health penalty leaves you vulnerable to more weapons and items that usual. This means you can be one-shot by these items (ignoring what can already one-shot you and minicrits/crits that's not given by the weapon):
- Point blank shots from the Lever Shotgun, the Lupara DB, and the Soda Popper.
- All point blank Rockets (excluding the Liberty Launcher & the Rocket Jumper), and the Equalizer when the Trooper is at lower hp.
- Any Grenade Launcher (excluding the Ultimatum), all Stickybomb Launchers (excluding the Sticky Jumper), and the Shock and Awe's explosion when the Annihilator is airborne.
- The Widowmaker at point blank range.
- The Mischievous Machete when the Marksman is at low hp and these Sniper Rifles:
- A bodyshot from the Huntsman.
- With a normal quick-scope (or fully charged bodyshot): the Classic, the Efficient Eliminator, and a Poacher's Pride headshot.
- With a quick-scope (or fully charged bodyshot) but at less than 40 studs away (20% less damage than normal): the Sniper Rifle, the Model IV, the Skullbuster and the Sour Shots.
- Ambassador headshots.
