Bread Knife

General

Usage

Pros	Cons
Back-stab and jaw-stab special abilities. Very low weight. Easy to find.	Short reach. Very low damage. Can get stuck inside of zombies. Very low durability. Carrying backup weapons is recommended. Cannot be repaired.

Special Abilities: Back-stab and Jaw-stab.

Most knives have the ability to silently back-stab an unsuspecting zombie. First, you must sneak up behind the zombie by crouching, aim and attack. If a zombie has detected you and turns their head around to look behind, you can still back-stab them. Back-stabbing can be risky due to it requiring you to get up close to a zombie and the zombie could turn around at any time and ruin the back-stab attempt. Back-stabs can cause the knife to get stuck inside of the zombie, resulting in you having to loot the knife off of it's corpse. Carrying a knife is recommended for players focusing on stealth.
Most knives have the ability to jaw-stab a zombie, which results in a one-hit kill. Jaw-stabs are very risky to attempt due to it being quite random and requiring you to let an attacking zombie get very close to your character. Jaw-stabs result in your character performing the jaw-stab animation which can leave your character vulnerable to other threats. Jaw-stabs can also cause the knife to get stuck inside of the zombie.

Condition

The bread knife is a blade weapon, therefore being influenced by the short blade skill. It only has a maximum condition of 5 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in 5 hits. The weapon cannot be repaired.
