Bowie Knife (Lonesome Road)

The Bowie knife is a weapon

Gameplay
The Bowie knife has a large clip-point blade and a riveted brown handle. Small contact marks mar the edge, and streaks of what is blood can be seen running across the sides of the blade and the hilt. The blade is stamped with the serial number 02280.

This weapon qualifies as an improved holdout weapon.

Special attack
It has a special Dirt-Nap attack, which does 80% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 8 fewer action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Dirt-Nap outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.

Durability
The Bowie knife can successfully strike about 495 times from full condition before breaking.
