A hunting knife is a blade melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The hunting knife has a 'Jaw Stab' attack which can kill a zombie instantly if close enough and timed correctly. It is also capable of performing backstabs on zombies that haven't noticed the player. There's a chance that after these attacks, the knife can get stuck in a zombie and will have to be looted back from the corpse, so beware of that. The hunting knife only hits one zombie at a time, so it is best if used in single combat or if zombies are relatively spread out when attacking.

Breaking doors

It is mostly ineffective at bashing down doors, dealing just 1 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Chopping trees

It is mostly ineffective at chopping trees, dealing 2 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Condition

The condition of the hunting knife is influenced by the maintenance skill. It has a maximum condition of just 5 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (15 + maintenance x 2)
