Garrote knives are knives that contain a mechanism inside of them that houses a garrote. If the garrote is broken, it can be repaired via FIX. It can also be repaired with another garrote wire via FIX, or via TURN with a garrote making tool.
Locked
A basic garrote knife is fully functional in combat as either a dagger or a garrote. It can be changed from knife to garrote with TURN.Usage

| GRIP (knife)
|
You hook a finger on the small ring hidden in the hilt of your poignard and give a sharp pull, a concealed wire snaking out of the hilt. Once fully extracted, the blade slides into the emptied hilt with a soft snick. Dragging the wire through a small groove in the handle, you slide it to more comfortable grip in the middle of the handle and give the azure garrote a few tugs to make sure it is secure.

| GRIP (garrote)
|
Shifting your grip, you pull on the garrote's wire and draw it through the small groove in the handle to the tip. As you relax the tension, a small blade shoots out the other end and the wire begins feeding smoothly up into the handle. With a small click, the draw ring of the garrote disappears fully into the mithglin poignard's hilt.
