Description[]

A Bone Knife is a improvised Bladed Melee weapon which is easy to craft with Bones. Made by simply filing down one of the joints into a sharp blade. It is one of the few tools available which can harvest useful things like Leather, Bones, Animal Fat, and Raw Meat from dead or undead animals.

Sneaking attack increases 400% extra damage in A21.

Combat[]

During combat, the Bone Knife is a short range, one-handed melee weapon. Using the primary click (default left mouse button) will swing the Bone Knife, initiating its basic melee attack. Using the secondary click (default right mouse button) will initiate its power attack, doing more damage to its target.

A great advantage with the Bone Knife is it’s ability to make enemies bleed with it’s attack, so even if the player doesn’t specialise in knives as a weapon, it may be good to use a power attack on enemies at least once before switching to their specialised weapon, as if the player needs to stop to regain their stamina, the enemy will still be taking bleed damage.

Butchering[]

When harvesting a recently slain animal corpse, or bones, the Bone Knife acts as a Butcher Tool, allowing you to obtain resources from the corpse that you would not get when using a tool that is not a designated Butcher Tool.
