Figaro

Figaro is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A unique variant of the straight razor, it features a slightly tarnished metal handle with a polished silver blade decorated with ornate etchings. It counts as a Holdout weapons weapon and therefore can be smuggled into casinos.

Special attack
It has a special Back Slash attack that does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 3 fewer action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Back Slash 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
Figaro can successfully strike about 445 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Straight razor

Location

 * It is held by Sergio, inside The King's School of Impersonation. It may be looted from his corpse, or obtained via reverse-pickpocketing.

Behind the scenes

 * The name is likely a reference to The Barber of Seville, where the protagonist is a barber named Figaro.
 * The ornate carvings might also be a reference to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
