Background Notes: Serial Killer Knives
Added 2024-09-06 20:45:29 +0000 UTCI was originally going to post the dialect guide I've been working on for RO #4, but I decided it'd be best to wait until they're less of a spoiler next month.
So, since it seems pretty popular to be running around with the Serial Killer MC's full complement of knives, here are the ones currently available in the game. (Yes, more will become available as time goes on and MC has s̷t̷o̷l̷e̷n̷ ̷m̷o̷r̷e̷ broken more knives needing replacement.)
Knife 1 : Benchmade Meatcrafter
Stainless steel blade + G10/garolite handle (composite fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin)
This is called a hunting knife in game, but it's more commonly used for butchering meat out in the wild.
The original 15500 has recently been discontinued for a newer updated version the 15500-3 - $370!

Knife 2 : Cold Steel SRK SK-5
High-carbon steel blade + kraton/kray-ex synthetic rubber handle
This is called the survival knife in game, but it's advertised as a "survival rescue knife". It's also the standard issue knife for the Navy SEALS. (This is also the knife that you can give to Adrian in-game)
The current version available is the SK-5 and is a relative steal at a mere $69.99.

Knife 3 : Fallkniven A1
Laminated steel blade + kraton/kray-ex synthetic rubber handle
It's often advertised as a "survival knife", but the manufacturer has it in the military knife section (which is what the game calls it)
There's many different variations available, including a tungsten carbide (black-coated blade) version. Available for the equivalent of $213-$333 from its original Swedish manufacturer.

Knife 4 : ESEE 6P
Carbon steel blade + Linen Micarta handle (synthetic thermoplastic made from linen/paper/canvas/fiberglass or other fibers)
Officially advertised as a "wilderness survival and tactical knife", the latter description which the game uses.
Another one that comes in a whole bunch of variations starting at $175.28+. This includes a version with a lime green blade and pumpkin orange handle... you know what, I'll just attach a photo of that one as a bonus.
Bonus: ESEE-6P-VG Venom Green (Definitely not the most discreet knife to shiv someone )
