Knife

Pathologic 2=

Knife is a melee weapon. It sports fast attacks and deals high damage, especially when backstabbing (done by sneaking up behind the target in stealth mode (C by default) and attacking). It cannot be used for autopsy.

Can be bought from Bad Grief. A knife in poor condition can be found in one of the drawers in Lara Ravel's house, The Shelter, on Day 1. As with the other melee weapons, it can be repaired (either by asking the townsfolk or using the workbench in the Lair) with:

- a Grindstone at >66% condition;

- a Grindstone and a Chisel at 33%-66% condition;

- a Grindstone, a Chisel, and a Straight Razor at <33% condition.

"Too rough for medical procedures. Too dirty for cutlery. Only good for taking lives."

"Murder is a sin worse than digging wells in our town. Not because the soul is considered sacred, but because the body is. What is not whole, is not holy. A torn body is a foul mockery of the universe."

Knife is a melee weapon that is available in all routes; however, knives can only be wielded by the Bachelor and the Haruspex, but not the Changeling. They may be obtained from muggers' corpses or bought from Bad Grief. They can also be traded with boys for other items.

"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."
