KNIFE: SURVIVAL

A small, but solidly built knife that usually has a sharp point (to stab/pierce, make holes, etc.), a keen edge (for slicing), with a part of the edge slightly serrated (for cutting through fibers, meat, etc.). The handle often has a narrow cross guard with a screwdriver-like flat on one end and a screwdriver-like cross on the other. The pommel can either be hardened for use as an impromptu hammer, or to able to withstand being struck (when splitting wood etc.). Rare survival knives may have hollow handles, which makes them useless as hammers or for being struck, but may be able to contain other small survival items (such as sewing needle, screwdriver attachments, matches, tinder, pins, fish hooks, etc.) or may have a built-in basic compass.

Note: This is not a normal weapon, but if used against a person or animal it can do 1D4+ P.S. bonus S.D.C. damage.
