Knives are Stab-type melee weapons in FlatMMO. They share the Stab attack type with Spears, but knives are shorter-range weapons that offer a balanced ratio of damage and accuracy, particularly lethal to enemies weak to stab. Knives can be purchased from the Thief Guard Shop up to Gold, or forged at an anvil using metal bars.
Compared to other melee weapon types, knives have lower raw damage than swords and spears but higher accuracy relative to their damage, making them a consistent option for players who value landing hits over maximum damage per swing.
