What kind of small knife for assassination has the highest damage

[Amanoob105]

This is one of those things that wikis are made to help with. The link should also help a lot when people start making recommendations letting you see exactly what item they are talking about.

Most of the best answers will almost certainly be from the iconics.

Objectively, a 5++ knife is the best throwing weapon, as it has a 200% headshot multiplier while the rest have 150%.

If you want to include all the thrown weapons and not just throwing knives, the Agaou is a serious contender, as you can easily get 100% crit chance with thrown weapons, so it is guaranteed to get the added damage, just not quite a stealthy weapon.

Amanoob is incorrect, the best weapons will almost always be 5++ with 2 open mod slots.

Punkknife is one of the best knifes in the whole game just because of it's usability

Okay I know thanks you help

For non-iconic weapons, the regular knife does the most damage, but that may not necessarily be what you want. If you have a punknife at the appropriate quality level for your level, it will kill every enemy but skull enemies with the +25% stealth damage perk from Cool, but it has a shorter cooldown than the knife.

Juggler gives you back your throwing weapons instantly.

Would always pick a Neurotoxin Knife. Fantastic throwing Knife. With corresponding Perks regarding throwing Weapons (and if you have a calm hand), it can be a really good one-hit Headshot Weapon over impressive distances.... and if it doesnt kill instantly, there is always the chance to trigger bleeding or poisoning to do extra Damage.
With fitting Modifiers, it can happen that the Knife will return to your hand the moment it hit something instead of a few seconds later.
Personally, even if i own the iconic Neurotoxin Knife, i prefer a normal Neurotoxin Knife, because i can install modifiers.
