Weapon
Pros:
The bread knife is a one handed blade weapon which is capable of dealing a one shot kill on zombies when the player performs a jaw stab animation. Since it's a one handed weapon the player can carry a bag in the other hand but it is advised to have enough strength to do so.
Cons:
Despite its fast attack rate, it has a short attack range and it inflicts low damage to the zombies if the player can't jaw stab the target, making it a weapon hard to master. This weapon can only hit 1 target at a time. The player should make sure other zombies are far enough in order to engage the closest one in case of a jaw stab with the weapon or else by the time this kind of attack is finished the player can't move making him and easy prey for the close zombies.
