The Bonny Butchering Knife is a Greataxe in Elden Ring. It belongs to Shadow of the Erdtree and waits in the Bonny Village.

The Bonny Butchering Knife is the weapon of the greater potentates of Bonny Village, an outsize butcher's cleaver used to dismember human bodies in the making of the great jars stored in the gaols. It lies on a corpse below a small shed outside a house in Bonny Village, near the broken bridge. It shares its look, moveset, attack rating, requirements, weight and small heal on each solid hit with the Butchering Knife, but it scales better with Strength at C than with Dexterity at D. Its unique skill, Hone Blade, sharpens the edge with a stroking motion and increases the HP each hit restores. It suits a Strength-leaning character who wants steady healing while trading blows.

Why Players Pick It

The Bonny Butchering Knife puts C Strength scaling on an 8.5-weight frame, tying for the lightest greataxe in the game and offering the cheapest Strength entry to the class. It hits for 134 physical with D Dexterity and Hone Blade is its skill. It belongs to the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Skill

Hone Blade costs 16 FP. The wielder strokes the blade twice to sharpen it, granting a 40 second weapon buff that raises damage by 6 percent and restores 1 percent of maximum HP with each hit. The animation cannot be cancelled once it starts. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"Perform a stroking action to sharpen blade, honing its cutting edge and increasing amount of HP recovered. The greater potentates treasure the tools of their practice."
