Knife spear clean

The knife spear clean is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
Compared to the standard knife spear, the knife spear clean deals higher critical hit damage at a higher critical chance and also inflicts a higher amount of bonus damage to enemy limbs, being more likely to cripple them.
Visually, while similar in appearance to the standard knife spear, the long broom handle used to mount the knives is smoother and polished.
===Special attack===
The knife spear clean has a special attack called Mauler, which 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 skill of 50).
It is possible to execute the Mauler attack outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
===Durability===
The knife spear clean can successfully strike about 1995 times from full condition before breaking.
===Crafting===
The weapon cannot be found in the game world and must be crafted.
Creation requirements

===Comparison===
==Notes==
* While the DPS is the same as a regular cosmic-knife clean, this weapon has a higher DAM per attack which makes it more effective against enemies with high DT.
* The weapon recipe in the workbench is listed as "cosmic knife spear," while the weapon itself will appear in the inventory as "knife spear clean."
==Bugs==
* Despite being referred to as a "clean" version of the knife spear, the cosmic knives mounted at the handle's end still retain the unclean residue-covered texture. This is caused by the special "clean" texture for the weapon only being applied to the handle portion and not the blade portion. 
* The knife spear clean is marked as a "player only" weapon, meaning it cannot be given to companions for use.
