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.

Comparison with Other Stab Weapons

Knives share the Stab attack type with Spears. Spears deal more damage and can attack from 2 tiles away, but knives offer a closer damage-to-accuracy ratio.

Bronze	2/1	5/1	+3 Damage, 2-tile range
Iron	3/2	6/2	+3 Damage, 2-tile range
Silver	4/3	7/3	+3 Damage, 2-tile range
Gold	5/4	8/4	+3 Damage, 2-tile range
Promethium	7/6	10/6	+3 Damage, 2-tile range
Titanium	9/8	13/8	+4 Damage, 2-tile range
Ancient	11/10	15/10	+4 Damage, 2-tile range

Spears can attack from 2 tiles away, giving them a significant advantage in many combat situations.
