Krauser's Knife

Is there any use to it outside of NG+? You get it so late and the increased damaged is only gonna come in if you plan to stab Saddler when he is downed.

Well.. it's a second repairable knife. I like it's design. Once you get the primal knife everything else get obsolete. And in the handcannon unlock run.. like you said.. you get it pretty late.. it's kinda not needed.

Outside NG+ its basically useless unless you need a second knife, but carrying 2 knives is a really good replacement for having the Primal knife in NG+ if you're going for no bonus weapons proffesional.

I will exclusive upgrade it soon. Doing NG+ normal run.

I used it for Professional NG+ rank A run to unlock Ashley's armor and some other accessories but other than that...

It's only use is really in NG+. It's exclusive upgrade doubles it's damage, and it does a surprising amount of damage for a knife. I plan on using it for my minimalist run alongside the combat knife. Combat knife for stealth kills or executions, and krauser's knife for just stabbing things to save ammo.

Wouldn't the infinite knife be better for minimalist?

Is damage on knives show much in pokes or is it mainly shown for when Leon impales staggered enemies?

I never use knife much for that, but maybe when i try higher difficulties later, to save on ammo.

It would be, but I want to see if I can do it without an infinite knife.

Also it's not like I'll need the money or inventory space, so repairing the two and having room for them won't be an issue either.

I just did a bit of testing with Krauser's knife. Maxed it does 3.6 damage and I'm killing village ganado in two stabs or slashes with little durability loss on Hardcore. It's definitely the stabs and slashes. It could also factor into the staggered throat stabs too though, not sure.
