Characteristics
Overview
A sharp skinning knife. Extremely good at harvesting flesh and can produce trophies that can be mounted on Hunting Trophies.
Trophies are the reason to own it. Harvest an animal with this knife in hand and you can come away with a head that goes on a small or large hunting trophy back at base. The other knives give you meat and leather. This one can also give you something to show off.
- Craft the knife at a Level 1 workbench from metal fragments.
- Kill the animal and harvest the whole body with the skinning knife, not a hatchet or another knife.
- Place a trophy stand on a wall of your base and mount the head on it.
As an everyday farming knife it is fine, and the game's text rates it extremely good at flesh. Its blueprint is tied to owning the item on Steam, so there is nothing to research, and you pick it for its purpose rather than its power.
Picture the bear that has been circling your farm all morning. You finally drop it, reach for this knife instead of the combat one, and by evening its head hangs in your main room.
