Smithing unlocks a variety of weapons. Despite the [[gladius]] and [[ikwa]] being more expensive, both are ''worse'' than the knife (of the same material/quality).

The game's infobox incorrectly calculates the likelihood of each attack (it uses RimWorld 1.0 values). | + | * '''The [[melee verb selection]] system''', introduced in 1.1. Each weapon has multiple attacks, or ''verbs'', with some better than others. The game's infobox incorrectly calculates the likelihood of each attack (it uses RimWorld 1.0 values). In this case, the knife is assumed to use "Bad" attacks more often than in practice. With this in mind, knives have a "true" {{DPS}} of 7.23, rather than the gladius' 7.13 or ikwa's 6.75. |
* '''The impact of [[Damage types#Cut|''Cut'']] damage type.''' Of the 3 weapons, knives are the most likely to deal Cut damage. Whenever a Cut attack is rolled, it has a chance to ''cleave''. When a weapon cleaves, it deals 140% damage, spread throughout body parts. | * '''The impact of [[Damage types#Cut|''Cut'']] damage type.'''

: While cleaving reduces the chance to destroy body parts, it deals more [[pain]], which gets enemies into [[pain shock]] faster. Pain shock is the most common way to disable enemies in combat, ''much'' more likely than body part destruction. Even mechanoids, who don't feel pain, can only lose so much HP before dying in combat. | : While cleaving reduces the chance to destroy body parts, it deals more [[pain]], which gets enemies into [[pain shock]] faster.
