The Gold Butter Knife is a butter knife made of gold. It is a kitchen tool and a store of precious metal. It can also be used as a one-handed stabbing weapon that trains the Short Blade skill.
As a weapon it is very weak and breaks almost at once. Its value lies in the kitchen and in the gold it holds. It is a very rare find, mostly in pawnshop display cases. A blacksmith can forge a pair from a Gold Sheet. The best occupations for short blades are the Burger Flipper, the Chef and the Doctor. Each starts with the same Short Blade skill.
Combat
The Gold Butter Knife stabs at close range, about 0.8 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.1 and 0.4 damage. The crit chance is 7 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage ten times. With only 1 condition, it can break on the first hit. It is a weapon of last resort.
Uses
The Gold Butter Knife works as a dull knife in the kitchen. It slices bread, cakes and pies. It fills jars of preserved vegetables. It slices an animal head to free the skull, and it scutches flax or hemp at a Scutching Board. Scrapping it gives five Gold Fragments for metalworking.

- The same recipe makes Silver Butter Knives from a Silver Sheet.
- Scrap the knife for Gold Fragments if gold is needed for smithing.
