Trench knife

The trench knife is a melee weapon in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

Characteristics
The blade was designed particularly for use on an enemy's helmet, with maximum damage for a blade of its size in mind. This model may have been classified as a "knuckle-duster" knife.

There is no functional difference between the regular combat knife and the trench knife. Only the skins are different: the trench knife has a spiked knuckle guard. It can be repaired using standard combat knives.

Variants

 * Combat knife
 * Occam's Razor, a slightly stronger version of the combat knife, wielded by Talon Company Commander Jabsco.
 * Stabhappy, identical to Occam's Razor, but has two principle differences. Firstly, the raider that holds it respawns, allowing multiple copies to be obtained. Secondly, it deals an additional 50% damage to limbs.
 * Swampfolk combat knife, a non-playable version of the weapon used only by Point Lookout's swampfolk, this version has identical stats but has an object effect which inflicts an extra 35 damage per hit when used by non-player characters against the player. This damage ignores Damage Resistance and is independent of the condition of the weapon.

Locations
Although used during the Anchorage Reclamation simulation, you can obtain it for use in the Capital Wasteland by retrieving it from the sealed armory in the Outcast Outpost after completing Operation: Anchorage.
