Knife spear

The knife spear is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
A two-handed bladed melee weapon that deals decent damage per strike at a slow attack speed, thus having a low damage-per-second (DPS) value. It deals decent critical hit damage with an average critical chance, costs a decent amount of AP, has high durability and low weight, and has a low caps value. It requires 25 Melee Weapons and 2 Strength to use effectively.
Visually, the weapon consists of four cosmic knives bound with rope to the end of a brushless broomstick handle.
===Special attack===
The knife spear has a special attack called Mauler that does normal damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of the normal 35 action points but adds a chance to knock down opponents (requires a Melee Weapons skill of 50).
It is possible to execute Mauler outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee Weapons skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
===Durability===
The knife spear can successfully strike about 1,995 times from full condition before breaking.
===Crafting===
The weapon can also be crafted.
Creation requirements
==Variants==
* Knife spear clean - a rare variant that must be crafted at a workbench.
* Throwing knife spear - a projectile variant.
* Throwing spear - a projectile variant found in the Mojave Wasteland.
===Comparison===
==Locations==
* Most commonly found on ghost harvesters and ghost seekers.
* One can be found next to the stairs leading up to the first fountain near the Villa police station, impaling a skeleton on the ground.
==Notes==
Despite consisting of cosmic knives attached to the end of a long handle, there is no super-heated version of the knife spear and throwing knife spear.
==Bugs==
* Due to the knife spear being a re-skin of the baseball bat:
** Enemy blood on the spear will be floating off of the surface.
** The player character's palm will be stretched out. This happens with the baseball bat but because the bat is bigger than the spear, it can not normally be seen.
* The knife spear can, due to an unknown bug, disappear in the third person point of view, but reappear in the first person point of view. Although the knife spear disappears in the third person point of view, it can still be usable in combat as if the knife spear is still there active. Reloading a previous save does not fix this issue, nor does dropping the knife spear (even though in third person point of view, it appears on the ground, it will disappear again when equipping it).
