Pocketknife

The Pocketknife is a common melee weapon found in civilian locations. It can also be used as a tool to craft a spike by combining two sticks and a pocketknife.

Advantages

 * It can be swung very quickly, enabling it to deal more damage than its stats would otherwise suggest.
 * It is quite lightweight.
 * It can be used to craft spikes, which can be used to create traps.

Disadvantages

 * Its damage-per-hit is low, taking several swipes to dispatch a civilian zombie.
 * Its range is short, putting you at great risk of taking damage from zombies.

Trivia

 * The Pocket Knife is more of a tool than a weapon due to its low damage-per-hit.
