Locations

Variants

 * Ant's Sting - Obtained by siding with the AntAgonizer in The Superhuman Gambit, Ant's Sting is slightly stronger than the regular Knife, and deals poison damage over time.
 * Ritual Knife (Point Lookout add-on) - Even more powerful than the Ant's Sting, the Ritual Knife only uses 12 AP for each VATS attack.
 * Toy Knife (Point Lookout add-on) - Using even less AP than the Ritual Knife, 10 compared to 12, the Toy Knife uses the lowest amount of AP for any weapon in Fallout 3. However, it does very little damage, much less than the regular Knife.
