Overview[edit | edit source]

The Utility Knife in Sons of the Forest is a tool and melee weapon, available right from the start when you open the Emergency Pack. While not ideal for combat due to its low damage, the knife is essential for crafting and other actions like skinning.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The Utility Knife is used for crafting the Crafted Spear. Its fast attack speed makes it somewhat usable in combat, but the damage is low, so it’s best reserved for utility tasks. It's also frequently used for skinning animals and cutting open certain materials during animations.

Tips & Tricks[edit | edit source]

  • Use the Utility Knife to quickly craft a spear early in the game.
  • Avoid using it in combat unless necessary, as its damage is much lower than most other weapons.
  • Due to its high speed and low stamina cost, it is an excellent tool for clearing brush and collecting leaves.

Worth it?[edit | edit source]

As a crafting tool, the Utility Knife is used for crafting only one weapon. However, it's not a weapon you'd rely on for serious combat, so be sure to upgrade to stronger weapons as soon as possible.
