Knife

"This carbon steel 7" bladed knife is dual edged with a serrated spine to provide improved stabbing and thrusting capabilities."

- Grand Theft Auto V description on Ammu-Nation and Social Club.

The Knife is a melee weapon featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Hawk & Little in GTA V.

3D Universe
"Outdoor knife for all-purpose, heavy-duty use. Perfect for those who need a rugged knife. Includes black leather sheath. Model JS-2938."

- GTA Vice City website. Throughout the games, the Knife adopted different designs based on various real-life knives, often as a mean to adapt it in the different game settings.


 * In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Knife strongly resembles a large blade.
 * In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it resembles a SOG SEAL Pup.
 * In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it takes the form of a Civil War Dagger with a small guard on it.

Grand Theft Auto IV
The Grand Theft Auto IV rendition of the Knife resembles the UC-RB1 knife made for and featured in the film First Blood, complete with the characteristic serrated edges on top.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
The Knife looks nearly identical to the Grand Theft Auto IV rendition, except for the slightly different serrated edges. It is stated to have a 7" blade.

3D Universe
The Knife deals moderate damage, and always inflicts a blood effect on impact, but it is somewhat effective compared to other melee weapons (on par with the Screwdriver). In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Knife allows stealth kills that do not attract unwanted attention.

The Knife is more than just a simple melee weapon. If CJ is aiming behind an opponent, he will execute a stealth kill, quietly slitting the victim's throat, useful when the player is trying to avoid detection and does not have a Silenced Pistol. The Knife only produces a single wanted star when used to stealth kill a police officer or kills many people in a short amount of time.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Although silent kills like in GTA San Andreas are not in the game, 5-6 strikes with the knife will kill an opponent, and will not warrant the player a wanted level. This can easily kill an enemy on single player or multiplayer, because 4-6 quick slashes while locked on with this will either kill or critically injure anyone, considering the Body Armor does not protect against knife attacks. The Knife can also be used for a one-hit kill counter-attack, by dodging an attack with the knife equipped, and pressing the attack button.

Compared to the Baseball Bat, it can be weak against an enemy, but is much faster.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
Just like in GTA San Andreas, players can perform stealth kills on people. However, instead of slitting their throat, they simply stab them in the neck. The knife is useful for close encounters, but lacks brute force in comparison to the Crowbar or the Nightstick. It is the one of three weapons that can be used underwater, the others being the Antique Cavalry Dagger and the Knuckle Dusters, and thus can be used to fend off sharks, showing its versatility on the environment.

 * One can see blood drops from the knife right after attacking someone with it, though this happens very rarely.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online

 * The description claims the blade is carbon steel, but the blade shows no rust after use in underwater. Unlike stainless steel, carbon steel will rust after use in wet environments but maintain a sharper edge longer than stainless steel.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

 * There is a glitch that allows the player to kill multiple pedestrians at once. If the player throws a Tear Gas canister into a crowd, the player can perform a stealth kill on anyone. Everyone affected by the gas will undergo the same animation and die at the same time. However there is a rare glitch that if the player performs this within the smoke cloud, they will also die as if someone did the stealth kill on them.
 * If the player performs the stealth kill and recruits a gang member at the same time, the gang member will undergo the death animation but will stand back up as if nothing happened.
