The Long Stone Knife is a long stone blade fixed to a Small Handle, used as a one-handed stabbing weapon. It trains the Short Blade skill. It weighs 1.
It hits about as hard as a Large Knife, which is good for a blade made from stone. Its crit is weak, and it wears out quickly. It also counts as a sharp knife for crafting, which makes it a key early tool. It is made from a Long Stone Blade, a Small Handle and a binding at Maintenance 1. 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 Long Stone Knife is a stabbing weapon with a short reach of 0.85 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.7 and 1.1 damage. The crit chance starts at 20 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
The knife strikes one zombie per attack. It suits a one on one fight against a lone zombie, and a group calls for a longer weapon.
The weapon is light, so its endurance cost stays low. The Short Blade skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. Against the Long Simple Metal Knife, it hits a touch harder on a low roll but crits far less often.
Uses
The Long Stone Knife counts as a sharp knife, so it works in a long list of recipes. It butchers and kills animals and opens canned food. It cuts leather into strips and carves bone and wood into tools and handles. It also binds onto a Long Stick or Sapling to make the Spear with Long Stone Head.

Any recipe that asks for a sharp knife accepts it as the tool, such as Cut Up Large Leather, Cut Up Medium Leather and Cut Up Small Leather.
Repair
The Long Stone Knife has 6 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 7 chance of taking a point off. The Short Blade and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Dismantle Bladed Item returns the Long Stone Blade. That blade and a fresh Small Handle make a new knife.
Notes
- Researching it can teach the Make Long Stone Blade, Make Stone Blade and Carve Fleshing Tool recipes.
- Keep the blade when the handle wears out, since a new Small Handle restores the knife.
- A spare is worth carrying, since each one breaks fast.
