Chance's Knife

 is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas, it is also a centerpiece of the graphic novel All Roads. It is a unique variant of the combat knife.

Characteristics
It is the knife of Chance, one of the Great Khans and a prominent character in the graphic novel, All Roads. The blade is still stained by the blood of the Fiends it last killed at the tribal village. With melee weapons skill of 100 and all of the damage and attack speed boosting perks, its DPS becomes as prominent as Oh, Baby!, which is an outstanding feat considering it has 5% of the weight (2.5% with Pack Rat). The only downside is that the lower DAM makes it more vulnerable to high-DT enemies (offset somewhat by poisons). Also, because of the fact that it is near Goodsprings, someone who can survive the nearby Cazadores (see below) can have this weapon at extremely early levels.

The knife qualifies as an improved holdout weapon, meaning that if the player has 50 Sneak they can carry it into casinos and other restricted areas.

Variants

 * Combat knife
 * Assassin - The Caesar's Legion assassin sent to kill President Kimball carries a special version which is "non-playable". This prevents the weapon from normally being shown in inventory, e.g. when pickpocketing the assassin.  The weapon is otherwise identical to the standard combat knife.
 * Cass - Rose of Sharon Cassidy carries a special "non-playable" version of the weapon, also otherwise identical to the standard version.

Location
It's located in Chance's grave, north of Goodsprings on a hill near Tribal Village along with Great Khan simple armor. A shovel is needed to access the loot, the closest one is at the Goodsprings General Store or the player can find a fully repaired one around the Goodsprings Source (Second area with geckos with Sunny Smiles).

Once at the Tribal village back track towards the main road while looking south. You should see a path leading up the hill and at the top is Chance's grave.

Note: There is a back way to the grave which will keep you from encountering any cazadors even at the very hard difficulty level. Make sure you have a shovel and head up the road in Goodsprings past the gas station. When you see the first "Keep Out" sign, turn to your left and head up into the hills. Once you are about as high up as you can go, turn right and proceed to the top of the next ridge. It is probably a good idea to crouch here, then continue in the same direction to the bottom of the ridge, turn right and follow the bottom of the same ridge, if done correctly, you will be right above the grave. Simply drop down, open the grave, retrieve the knife, and fast travel back to Goodsprings. It is possible to do this at level one and this weapon will make the early stages of the game very easy.

Behind the scenes

 * In All Roads, Chance used his knife to carve a map of the settlements in the Mojave Wasteland.
