Ritual knife

The ritual knife is a weapon in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
==Characteristics==
The ritual knife is used by the swampfolk in rituals. It can be repaired with knives as well as the slasher knife and Ant's Sting. This weapon has a high rate of attack and the second-lowest AP cost in the game.
===Durability===
The ritual knife can successfully strike about 1333 times from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Knife - The common variant found throughout the Capital Wasteland.
* Ant's Sting - Obtained by siding with the AntAgonizer in The Superhuman Gambit, Ant's Sting is slightly stronger than the regular knife, and deals poison damage over time.
* Slasher knife - Appears in Tranquility Lane and can only be obtained outside of the simulation through console commands.
* Toy knife - Using even less AP than the ritual knife (10 instead of 12) the toy knife uses the lowest amount of AP for any weapon in Fallout 3. However, it does very little damage, much less than the regular knife.
===Comparison===
==Location==
The ritual knife is found in the caves beneath the ritual site, stuck in a skull on the sacrificing table near The Krivbeknih, after beginning the quest The Dark Heart of Blackhall.
==Notes==
* Stimpaks surrounding the remains where the knife is found suggest the victim was kept alive as long as possible while being violently disfigured.
* One of Jaime Palabras' holotapes found in the Dunwich Building speaks of a "sharp knife" used to "send him to deep temple."
* This particular ritual blade appears to be merely a standard kitchen knife used for ritual purposes. Ritual and/or cult daggers elsewhere in the series, such as Kremvh's Tooth or the Cult of the Mothman's cultist daggers, appear to be more unique in their design and composition.
==Bugs==
 The ritual knife will sometimes fall inside the sacrificing table making it difficult to obtain. It is possible to dislodge it with explosives and/or third person view to pick it up.
