A Kitchen Knife is a general term for any knife used for food preparation. They can appear in all different sizes, finishes, materials and shapes. The version featured in No More Room in Hell is of a large chef knife variety with a wooden riveted handle. Chef Knives are usually fairly large with 14 inches of overall length with a blade length of 8 inches. Most common kitchen brand knives are typically of a stainless steel variety.

Strategy

The Kitchen knife is a short ranged bladed weapon that is both light and easy to handle while providing a decent amount of damage. It is somewhat comparable to the Hatchet, sharing a similar range and damage profile, with an equally similar attack rate. It is a perfect backup weapon, taking only a small space in the inventory while still dishing out decent damage.

Keep your distance and attack with light attacks. Two or three attacks are ample in killing a regular zombie, but its short range is its main downfall. Child zombies can be taken care of with a single charged attack, but the damage increase is negligible.
