Knife

The Knife as it appears in Manhunt.

The Knife is a Blue Class melee weapon appearing in Manhunt and is also seen during some cutscenes in Manhunt 2. This weapon is used by the Skinz, Innocentz, and Smileys gangs in the former.

Use

It takes 12 light attacks in combo or 6 heavy attacks to knock down a Hunter with it, making it slightly more effective than the Glass Shard. Apart from being used as a weapon to kill or execute Hunters, the Knife, similar to the Glass Shard and Machete, can also be used to cut ropes such as ones used to lock gates that prevent the player from advancing.

Manhunt

The knife first appears during White Trash where Cash comes across a rope-tied gate and needs something to cut it open with. He soon encounters a nearby Skinz member armed with a Knife, Cash then kills the gang member and takes the blade.

Later on in the story, after watching his family's death, Cash is given a Knife to kill the Innocentz, free the Tramp from their capture and escort him to the cemetery. It is later used by the Smileys as a melee weapon, along with the Meat Cleaver.

Manhunt 2

Unlike the original Manhunt, the Knife in Manhunt 2 is not actually usable by the player and its only appearances are two cutscenes. It first appears in the ending cutscene of Domestic Disturbance as a kitchen knife, where a blood drenched Daniel Lamb is standing over his dead wife holding the knife. It also appears in another cutscene near the end of the game, where Leo Kasper is seen using the knife to torture and kill Danny's wife (which is responsible for the previous scene).

• Violent: Cash spins the Hunter around and stabs him in the stomach, then stabs him three more times in the chest before he pushes the dead Hunter down.
• Gruesome: Cash stabs the Hunter in the lower-right side of his back then stabs him directly in his right eye before finishing him with a stab into his left eye.

Trivia

• There was originally going to be a second type of Knife in Manhunt, but it was cut. This variant can still be found in the game files and it resembles a large hunting knife.
• During White Trash, as Cash enters the Junkyard, there is a small hut to the right and behind it are five Glass Bottles and a Knife, but a trainer is required to get there.
• In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Carl Johnson can perform a stealth kill with a knife which reuses the same animation as the Hasty execution from Manhunt.
• In Manhunt 2, some of the Project Militia are seen carrying knives in holsters on their backs. These are merely cosmetic, however, and are never actually used against the player.
• The Knife shares the same animation with the Glass Shard in all execution styles in Manhunt, but unlike its Green Class equivalent, it has unlimited uses.
• The weapon in Manhunt is based on the Randall Model 12 Sportsman Bowie Knife with a leather handle.
