Knife

Knife (Pathologic 2)=

Knife is a melee weapon in Pathologic 2. Unlike other melee weapons, it cannot be used for autopsy or lockpicking. However of all the melee weapons, the Knife has the highest durability, and otherwise deals moderate damage.

Knives can be bought from Bad Grief, and otherwise looted from containers and bodies. A Knife in poor condition can be found in one of the cabinets in the Shelter on Day 1, and Barley the Barber will drop one if killed. Knives can be sold to all stores and traded to Militia or Dandy in the Soul-and-a-Half Fortress.

Knives are sometimes wielded by bandits, and on rare occasion by generic men.

* Value at full durability


 * The following equations calculate for damage dealt, where D represents durability. Durability is reduced prior to damage being calculated.
 * Light Attack: 25 + √(D) × 20
 * Heavy Attack: 40 + √(D) × 20
 * Backstab Attack: 20 + √(D) × 60

Quote
"An ordinary meat-cutting knife. Can be used as a melee weapon. Not as good as a sharp scalpel in a face to face fight, but can instantly kill if stabbing the back. Becomes dull and brittle after about half a hundred blows."
