The Shank Knife is a knife that allow the wielder to cut a shank of meat off of a dead creature. The knives are mechanically daggers, and can be used in combat. The meat shanks can be eaten raw or cooked, either by over an open fire or by casting a fire or acid spell. They are sold at the Rumor Woods shop, Been Shanked Lately.
Analyze
You analyze your suede-hilted knife and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The Shank Knife is able to extract meat shanks from many living animals, cockatrices, and roa'ters using WAVE. You also can POINT the knife at creatures, RUB, and FLIP.
Consuming raw shanks is risky. Shanks may be cooked on an open fire or by casting a fire or acid spell at them.
The knife may be altered freely.
You can tell that the knife is as light as it can get.
