Weapon
The bread knife can hit 1 enemy at a time (even with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 0.4 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit or execution) from up to 1 tile away at an attack speed of 2. It can be attached to the character's belt for quick access and weight reduction.
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.

Condition
The bread knife 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 (5 + 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.
| Maintenance level | Short blade level | Condition lower chance | Average condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/5 (20%) | 25 |
| 0 | 4 | 1/7 (14%) | 35 |
| 0 | 8 | 1/9 (11%) | 45 |
| 4 | 0 | 1/9 (11%) | 45 |

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
