Fighting Knives were introduced at Duskruin Arena August 2021 in the shop The Knifery by GM Sindin. They are limited to daggers only, and almost all messaging has different versions if you are holding two fighting knives.

Analyze

You take a closer look at a black rolaren dirk.
You analyze the rolaren dirk and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This dirk is a Fighting Knife!  It can hit harder and faster in combat than a normal knife, depending on its level of unlock.  It also lets you challenge other Fighting Knife owners to knife fights!
This dirk is currently Tier 1 of 4 with access to:

RAISE*, TAP, TURN, WAVE**

*  indicates that the verb can be used with player targets.
** indicates that the verb can be used with player and object targets.
Players may choose to set their demeanors to cold or reserved to prevent being bothered for RP purposes.
Many verbs have extra messaging when two fighting knives are in hand.
Other players targeted by a verb while holding a fighting knife will also affect messaging.

At this tier, the dirk provides the following mechanical benefits:
Slasher: Upon a successful slash attack, this weapon has a chance to slash again.

You can tell that the dirk is as light as it can get.
