Knife

Knife (Pathologic 2)=

The Knife is a melee weapon. At high durability, the Knife sports fast attacks and deals high damage, especially when backstabbing (done by sneaking up behind the target in stealth mode (C by default in the PC version) and attacking). While broken, the Knife's effectiveness in combat dramatically decreases. It cannot be used for autopsy.

Knives can be bought from Bad Grief, or sometimes looted from corpses. A Knife in poor condition can be found in one of the drawers in Lara Ravel's house, the Shelter, on Day 1.

At full durability Knife deals approximately 45 damage by light attack, 60 damage by heavy attack and 78 damage by backstab. When fully broken, all attacks deal 20 damage.

In order to repair an Knife, the player will need:
 * >66%: A Grindstone
 * >33%: A Grindstone and a Chisel
 * >10%: A Grindstone, a Chisel, and a Straight Razor
 * >0%: A Toolkit

"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."
