Golden knife

golden knife is a VIP server exclusive item in item asylum. It is a golden kitchen knife with sparkle effects.
== Functionality==
Upon use, the user stabs the knife downward, dealing 35 damage. golden knife requires the knife itself to touch an enemy to take effect.
If the user stabs an enemy in the back, the knife deals 500 damage. Likely due to a bug, backstabbing an enemy permanently freezes all their limbs in place. If the victim survives the backstab, they are unable to move through any means, as well being rendered immune to ragdoll, knockback, and being grabbed by vampirism. Backstab victims have several unique interactions when using items:
*Most items that force the user to move, such as allusions, heart-to-heart, hot rod rider, icecream treat, jackson, and pegasus boots, instead keep the user stationary. The items otherwise work as intended.
*While the user's limbs are frozen, the items themselves are not. Items that animate in the user's hand, such as lovestruck, still move.
*poser's katana's SlashStep and scales of horror separate the victim's HumanoidRootPart from their body. The HumanoidRootPart is an invisible body part the same size as a player's torso. As the HumanoidRootPart is where the user's camera, item hitboxes, hitscan weapon rays, emperor projectiles, and placeable items derive their positions from, this greatly disjoints the aforementioned mechanics.
**tactical fighting technique's Garage Barrage, honk, hellgate, and end have the same effect, though temporary; once their respective animations are over, the HumanoidRootPart reverts back to the user's body. While this may be used to return the victim's HumanoidRootPart to their body after using SlashStep or scales of horror, this seems to cause the HumanoidRootPart to "destabilize", making it pivot in place while using items, most notably causing hot rod rider to perform a wheelie.
**Despite all other teleporting items having strange effects, warp functions as intended.
Against bosses, backstabs work the same as against players, dealing 500 damage and freezing them in place. However, some bosses have unique effects while frozen. If a boss is not listed, they either do not have any noteworthy effects upon being frozen, are immune to being backstabbed, or have not yet been tested.
*Upon being frozen, 10 Hour Burst Man functions as expected until he attempts to enter the shadows. When he tries to enter the shadows in normal gameplay, he simply stops attacking and walks towards the trees, teleporting to another part of the map once out of sight. However, in this instance, as he cannot move in the first place, he permanently loses the ability to attack or switch weapons. In this state, he is also unable to enter phase 2; rather, he continues to take damage past 50% health until he dies. If he never attempts to enter the shadows prior to reaching 50% health, he enters phase 2 as normal.
*Against Beta Xerroz, he may occasionally teleport to another part of the arena. Similar to SlashStep and scales of horror, only his HumanoidRootPart is teleported.
*Against Ithor, his HumanoidRootPart immediately teleports several dozen studs forward, bypassing walls and pillars. He loses the ability to perform most attacks, with the exception of his Wave Strike and Lisa moves.
*Against Klevinoroto, his body remains frozen while his HumanoidRootPart attacks players. The stomp at the end of "you can't escape!" originates from his body rather than his HumanoidRootPart. If backstabbed during his pre-fight monologue, he remains invincible during the rest of the fight and his health bar does not appear.
*Against Man of Nature, if stabbed while he is invincible in the first part of the fight, he remains invincible and nonattacking after all other NPCs are defeated. In addition, the other NPCs will no longer spawn in the second part of the fight.
*Against Specimen 9, upon being backstabbed while downed, his body stays in place while his HumanoidRootPart continues to move around the room.
==Trivia==
*This item is a reference to the Gold Knife from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It is used as the last weapon in the Arms Race mode, CS:GO's equivalent of Gun Game.
*The golden knife uses the legacy hitbox system, allowing it to hit dodge dummies, counter dummies, parry dummies, and the dummies present on absa, but makes it unable to hit multiple humanoids at once.
