A letter opener is a common early game melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The letter opener is light, and in terms of durability, is worse than the kitchen knife, ice pick and hunting knife. As the letter opener is one of the weapons with the 'Jaw Stab' attack, it can kill a zombie instantly if close enough and timed correctly. It does, however, have a low maximum durability, allowing for few attacks before breaking.

It is a single attack weapon, so it is best if used in single combat or if zombies are relatively spread out when attacking.

Breaking doors

The letter opener is a weapon that deals minimal damage (2) to doors. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Chopping trees

The letter opener is a weapon that deals minimal damage (1) to trees. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Condition

The letter opener has a maximum condition of 5. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blade and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (1 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blade and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and short blade skills.

For how this is calculated, see: Condition
Maintenance skill Weapon skill Condition lower chance
0 0 1/1 (100%)
0 4 1/3 (33%)
0 8 1/5 (20%)
4 0 1/5 (20%)
8 0 1/9 (11%)
4 4 1/7 (14%)
4 8 1/9 (11%)
8 8 1/13 (8%)
10 10 1/15 (7%)

Repairing

The letter opener cannot be repaired.

Crafting

The letter opener can be attached to the end of a spear. The condition of the letter opener will be carried over to the spear.
