The Sushi Knife is a one-handed chef's knife that works as a short blade weapon. It trains the Short Blade skill. It counts as a sharp knife for crafting and cooking.
In a fight it hits as hard as a Kitchen Knife and crits just as often. Its edge holds up better, with half again as much condition and slower wear. The Sushi Knife is an uncommon find, tied to chefs and their workplaces. 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 Sushi Knife swings fast and hits one zombie at a time. The reach is short, so each attack puts the user close to the zombie. Normal hits deal low damage, between 0.3 and 0.7. The crit chance starts at 25 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage four times. Like most short blades, it can perform a jaw stab that kills a zombie outright.
The knife is one-handed, so a bag or a light can stay in the other hand. It is light, so each swing costs little endurance. It suits careful fights against lone zombies, where a jaw stab ends the fight quickly.
The Short Blade skill raises attack speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. Against the Kitchen Knife, it has the same damage and crit but lasts longer. The Hunting Knife hits harder and crits more often, so it remains the better fighting knife. The Sushi Knife is a fine everyday blade for cooking and crafting that can also defend its owner.
Uses
The Sushi Knife counts as a sharp knife in crafting. It cuts leather into strips, crafts twine and twists dogbane into rope. It carves wood into stakes, long sticks, handles and spoons, and it carves bone into tools and beads. It opens cans, butchers and kills animals, and cuts plants. It also works as a tool when assembling axes, hammers and maces from their heads and handles.
Used in Crafting
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 Sushi Knife has 15 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 3. The Short Blade and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. The blade can be sharpened to keep its edge.
Locations
The Sushi Knife is an uncommon find. It turns up in places linked to chefs, in cardboard boxes, crates, small boxes, counters and metal shelves. It can also be found on the body of a chef. The chance in each spot is low, around one in twenty.

Notes
- The Sushi Knife holds more condition than a Kitchen Knife or a Steak Knife, so it outlasts both in daily use.
- Researching the knife can teach the recipes for forging a small knife and a crude blade.
- It is light enough to keep in a bag as a spare crafting knife.
