The Silver Butter Knife is a butter knife made of silver. It is a kitchen tool and a small 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 silver it holds. It turns up most often in dish cabinets and dining room dressers. A blacksmith can forge a pair from a Silver 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 Silver 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 2 condition, it can break within a couple of hits. It is a weapon of last resort.
Uses
The Silver 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 Silver Fragments for metalworking.
