"Stays sharp & will last a lifetime!"

The cosmic knife is a melee weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Background
Made from a "space age" Saturnite alloy in the Big Empty Research and Development Center, far more of these knives than were required were shipped to the Sierra Madre casino in preparation for the Gala Event. They could cut through bone like a knife through warm butter, and often cut straight through chopping boards during food preparation. Concerns were raised about the safety and necessity of having so many of these knives lying about, but Frederick Sinclair insisted that only the best equipment be used. When heated, they were known to have amazing heat retention, and would stay hot for hours. If left on an uninsulated surface, they would melt right through; however they are extremely brittle when heated.

Now, many of these knives have found their way into the hands of the Ghost People who stalk the streets of the Villa.

Characteristics
Compared to the regular knife, the cosmic knife is longer, has a rusted finish and does more damage. Using Abraxo cleaner, one can turn it into a clean cosmic knife. They glow purple before they are cleaned, most likely due to years of cloud exposure. The name possibly refers to its "space-age" ceramic material, as it's definitely not from outer space.

They are used in the crafting of knife spears, throwing knife spears, clean cosmic knives and super-heated cosmic knives. Aside from the handle and tip, they appear similar to the standard Knife.
