Kitchen Knife

A kitchen knife is one of the stabbing weapons found in the game, and is capable of killing zombies in 3-5 decently placed hits at point-blank range. However, even so, its range, knockback, and damage severely limits the capabilities of this weapon. It is unable to deal with multiple zombies, and its range makes it very risky to fight even a single undead enemy, should the player be careless and aim poorly. However, if one is extremely close to an enemy, one can do a "under-the-chin-strike" which usually kills an enemy in one hit. It is best used for fighting a single enemy or fighting enemies one by one at extremely close quarters. Can be used to kill smaller hordes if one lures the zombies around a corner and takes advantage of its CQB move.

Kitchen knives are usually found in Kitchen drawers, along with the butter knife.

Kitchen knives are also useful for cutting watermelons into watermelon slices.
