Cosmic knife clean

The cosmic knife clean is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
Compared to the standard cosmic knife, the cosmic knife clean's primary benefit is that it inflicts 3x damage to limbs, twice that of the unclean and nearly twice that of the super-heated version. It also deals the highest damage per strike, the highest critical hit damage and has the highest durability of the three cosmic knife variants.
Visually, the weapon is almost identical in appearance to the unclean knife, save for being completely cleaned of the Cloud residue and replacing the dirty purple hue with a sanitary shine on the blade.
===Special attack===
The cosmic knife clean has a special Surgical Strike attack, which does 150% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 5 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).
It is possible to execute Surgical Strike outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
===Durability===
The cosmic knife clean can successfully strike about 995 times from full condition before breaking.
===Crafting===
The weapon cannot be found in the game, it must be crafted. It is also required in the crafting of the knife spear clean.
Creation requirements
==Variants==
* Cosmic knife - the standard variant found throughout the Sierra Madre.
* Cosmic knife super-heated - a rare variant that must be crafted at a workbench (after finding the requisite recipe) using a single unclean cosmic knife, a hot plate, a pilot light, and forceps.
