Knife (Fallout)

The knife is a melee weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics
The knife is a small melee weapon that deals a moderate amount of damage, but characters start with better melee weapons in Fallout 2. Initially, it can serve as a somewhat valuable loot item, making it a helpful find. It's also very good in the beginning of the game against rats and other small animals, like geckos.
