Throwing knife (Fallout: New Vegas)

The throwing knife is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The silent and cunning weapon of choice for assassins. They are small, light weight blades that make for quick and quiet kills. They are about seven inches in length and made of a light weight metal alloy wrapped in a red cloth grip.

Since they lack the damage of hatchets and spears, it's recommended to use these with any poison. Throwing knives count as a holdout weapon and can concealed regardless of Sneak skill.

Locations

 * Crimson Caravan Company - Blake occasionally sells them.
 * Goodsprings general store, Goodsprings - Chet occasionally sells one or two.
 * Mick & Ralph's, Freeside - they can also be purchased from Mick providing you have enough Speech skill (30).
 * Quartermaster Bardon in the Hoover Dam offices - On very rare occasions they can be purchased here.

Bugs

 * When you take off a limb with a throwing knife, a semi-glowing version appears afterwards that is not able to be picked up called 'projectile throwing knife', and when shot, it explodes.
 * Sometimes the throwing knife may explode for unknown reasons when hitting a dead enemy's leg.
