A kitchen knife is a blade melee weapon.
Usage

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 1 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Condition
The kitchen knife is a blade weapon, therefore being influenced by the blade skills: accuracy, guard and maintenance. 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 (2 + maintenance x 2)
