Knives
Opens cans and people
Short answer
A blade is the first hour. Stone if you must. Steak knives count.
Also: knife · blade
How it works
Knives craft, skin, fight, and open tins. Condition still matters.
What to do
Keep one. A second is a spare, not a collection.
Don't
Don't throw your only blade at a chicken.
