Knife (Fallout: New Vegas)

The knife is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
A one-handed bladed weapon that served as a simple kitchen knife pre-War, being extremely common to the point of being cheap clutter. It deals the third-lowest damage per strike of all bladed melee weapons while having the third-lowest AP cost.
The knife's common availability and low cost to repair through a vendor make it ideal for repairing higher-ended one-handed melee weapons via the Jury Rigging perk. It is one of the required components in the crafting of the weapon binding ritual from the Honest Hearts add-on. It is considered a holdout weapon.
===Special attack===
The knife has a special Back Slash attack that does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 4 fewer action points (requires a Melee Weapons skill of 50).
It is possible to execute Back Slash 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 can successfully strike about 745 times from full condition before breaking.
==Locations==
* Most commonly found in the kitchens of houses or hotels, e.g. in the kitchen of Doc Mitchell's house.
* Used by Viper gunslingers, Freeside thugs and Jackal gang members.
* Often carried by wastelanders, but sometimes they cannot be pickpocketed, only taken from the dead body.
* Frequently found on the bodies of NCR troopers.
* The Atomic Wrangler crier carries one.
* Two in tool cabinets, in the Nipton house with the Mr. Gutsy prototype.
* Three can be found stuck into a picture of Mr. House, in the kitchen of house #00 in Higgs Village.
==Notes==
In the Ultra-Luxe, within the Gourmand's kitchen area, several larger knives can be found, however their size does not change when equipped. If dropped, it will remain the same size; if picked up and dropped again, it will revert to the normal size.
