The Saxxy is a golden trophy with a statue of Saxton Hale , the namesake for the trophy, that is awarded to people who have prodcued a winning entry for the Saxxy Awards, an annual animation contest using Source Filmmaker, for reaching a certain category (such as Best Overall, Best Drama, Best Comedy). The Saxxy, when given to winners of the Awards, is dropped to players as a melee weapon for all classes in Team Fortress 2. It functions the same as the stock melee weapon as the wielder's class plays as. Enemies killed with a Saxxy become solid Australium statues for cosmetic effect.
