How to Use Boot Knife

Be Mindful of Boot Knife's Durability

While the Boot Knife has slightly higher durability than the Kitchen Knife, it still has lower durability than the Combat Knife. Be mindful of how you use it, and try not to use it to break free from a grapple or kill a downed enemy, as they can shatter the Boot Knife quickly.

Knife Durability: Do Knives Break?

Parry Attacks

The Boot Knife can survive several parries, so it's one of the best ways to use it in the game. It's not as sturdy as the Combat Knife, but it will serve its purpose and allow you to defend yourself.

However, defending a stronger attack from elite mobs or bosses will cause the Boot Knife to lose durability fast, so dodge their attacks if you can!

How to Parry Attacks

Sneak Attack for an Instant Kill

Although sneak attacks can remove a lot of the Boot Knife's durability, it will be worth doing as it guarantees an instant kill against enemies. You can eliminate at least two enemies with the Boot Knife by doing sneak attacks, saving you precious resources, especially ammo.
