Combat Knife

The best tool for harvesting animal corpses quickly and efficiently. It's also one of the best melee weapons in the game due its fast swing rate and high damage - it can also be swung while sprinting, without slowing down the user.

the main difference between this one and the bone knife(or almost any other melee): you can swing it while sprinting. this is huge for melee skirmishes and hunting for hit and run striking

Farming overview tl;dr:


Combat knife is #2 for barrel farming, and not recommended for roadsigns due to low durability.

The Combat Knife is considered to be the best harvesting tool in its class, use it as it is preferred over the Bone Knife .

Increasingly popular in roaming kits for its top-class flesh harvest, barrel ttk, and sprint quirk. Pretty economic to boot.

The combat knife has the ability to "untie" underwater crates and chests by hitting them.
It takes 2 hits for the sunken crate and 3 hits for the sunken chest.
It makes underwater farming way quicker.
