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.
