The knife is a melee weapon used by all militia regiments (except for Nassau) and can also be used by irregulars. It takes 5 hits to kill a full-health player. The knife has 4 attack directions, the same as swords.
Design[]
The blade of the knife is one long wedge and a second shorter wedge. It looks smooth and has a burlap colored handle.
Usage[]
Knives are used mainly in last resort situations and probably the worst weapon of choice in the game. You cannot block with the knife, and its effective range only outclasses the militia hammer. In close situations, it can be used to quickly take out another player, but only if you are right on top of said player.

- Very fast swing speed.
- Fast walk speed.
Cons:
