Knife

A Knife is a short bladed weapon/tool, that occasionally appears within the Tomb Raider series.

Original Timeline
A knife was planned to be included in Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft. Lara Croft could use the knife to stab things, and pry secrets out of walls. The knife would be held in a sheath on Lara's leg.

The knife was added in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, but not into the hands of the player. It is Werner Von Croy who fights off boars with the knife.

Survivor Timeline
Rise of the Tomb Raider featured the first usable knife in game. It's was able to be utilized for stealth kills and cutting ropes.

A knife is once again featured in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Lara uses a simple bowie knife in the prologue and will utilize a makeshift one from the crashed aeroplane's propeller after arriving in Peru. The basic knife is used for cutting and attacking enemies. Players can upgrade it by progressing through the game, trading with merchants, or completing side missions:


 * Makeshift Knife: Used for cutting rope and attacking enemies covertly.
 * Reinforced Knife: Adds the ability to cut through braided ropes.
 * This knife can be purchased in Paititi during The Hidden City chapter for 2900 Gold Pieces. The merchant is found just northeast of the Paititi Market Base Camp near the lower bridge.
 * Finely-Crafted Knife: Adds the ability to harvest more animal resources.
 * Jaguar Fang: A reinforced, obsidian-bladed knife. Used to cut through braided ropes and stealthily attack enemies.
