Trench Knife

The trench knife is a melee weapon that appears in the Operation: Anchorage add-on for Fallout 3.

Characteristics
There is no functional difference between the regular combat knife and the trench knife. Only the skins are different: the trench knife has a spiked knuckle guard. It can be repaired using standard combat knives.

The trench knife can successfully strike about 1286 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Combat knife
 * Occam's Razor - A slightly stronger version of the combat knife, wielded by Talon Commander Jabsco.
 * Stabhappy - Stabhappy shares all of its stats with Occam's Razor, but has two principal differences. Firstly, the raider that holds it respawns, allowing multiple copies to be obtained. Secondly, it deals an additional 50% damage to limbs.
 * Sim version combat knife - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs only in health (essentially non-degrading).

Locations
Although used during the Anchorage Reclamation simulation, you can obtain it for use in the Capital Wasteland by retrieving it from the sealed armory in the Outcast Outpost after completing Operation: Anchorage.

Behind the scenes

 * In World War I, this was a weapon used by both sides when jumping into trenches for close quarters ambush operations. The blade was designed particularly for use on an enemy's helmet, with maximum damage for a blade of its size in mind. This model may have been classified as a "knuckle-duster" knife.
