Is there any difference between knives?
Is there any difference in terms of damage and durability between knives? For example steak and kitchen knife?

All I know is the hunter knife gives the most meat when cutting up an animal.

One of the knives seems to open cans.. the others wont combine to do it. Not sure if you can shave with all of them but the hunters knife you can... for what I dont know. The Machete certainly can open cans.

The kitchen knife seems to kill chickens fastest. But that might be a small sample data set.

you can open cans with every knife.
they all do the same damage (except stone knife).
there is a difference in durability: stone knife wears off fastest, then steak knife, kitchen knife etc.

You can still open cans with all knives somehow combining them as usual doesn't seem to work anymore.
You have to put the can on the floor and use the knife in your hands on it.

Every knife I have ever used has killed chickens with a single hit.

Apparently knives also resurrect dead threads.

Hey, it popped up in my feed. I didn't look at the date. Besides, a thread like this,the date doesn't matter. Everything said is still valid. And if it helps someone later down the road, all's well.

It's kinda relevant, due to game updates and changes .. As the game evolves, things like this can become outdated (not that this one in particular has).

Edit: Currently, from a game-file standpoint, there are differences in the Durability of different knives, but not in functionality. All knives will do the same jobs, but some will wear out faster. This also applies to Bayonets, which are their own Class, even though some look like a Knife.

Knives now differ in health and shock damage dealt as well as slightly in attack range.
Combat and hunting knife are the strongest knives (HP damage: light attack 22; heavy attack 38), the crafted ones the weakest (HP damage: light attack 10; heavy attack 15) when it comes to damage dealt.
