I have a YER knife with 30,000 kills on it that says otherwise and usually make it into top 3 on skial servers. But knife stats aside (non-comp) YER is nice.
How many people have mics? Less then a 1/3. Even when they can yell out that a YER spy just stabbed them, about 70 percent of the time you've already chain stabbed another player (making their team search for a spy who can't possibly be you, since you can't switch classes). The main problem with is getting the initial kill but after that it has very little downside.
-Most knife's can't kill near a sentry without being shot. YER can. I can kill an engineer then sap his structures. Other's knives runs the risk of either not sapping fast enough after a stab (and dying) or sapping and alerting the engineer. A dead engineer can't knock off a sapper.
-Chain stabs? Most knives would give you away, YER never breaks disguise.
And I know I'm going to get alot of flak for this...but as a spy I go for the medic if I can otherwise go for the person (heavy usually) that the medic is healing. Less warning and you've removed the main danger, AND medics seem to go crazy when you kill the person they are healing (often chasing you resulting in their death).
And it's kind of funny to see the medic suddenly behind enemy lines without an attacking class facing your team.

I like mine, too.

I've gone back to the regular spy watch/knife though. I like the flexibility of disguising as a friendly team mate so they don't know that I'm around. Plus "surfing" dropped weapons and metal pickups makes the cloak and dagger pointless. The DR is too loud IMHO for use without the set, even though it works as a great shield. I don't use the regular spy watch with the sarharan set, because you are visible for almost a full second every time you get bumped, which is a liability in "traffic". At least with the DR you have 9 seconds of full cloak before the increased bump time kicks in.
I love using the DR to survive an 8 sticky trap that launches me safely across the map, that is awesome every time.
