The Cane Knife is a type of sharp melee weapon featured in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. it can be sold by various Merchants and found in Metal chests or on killed Zombies.
Overview[]
Cane Knives are decent early game sharp weapons, with high damage but very low force. It can easily sever limbs and heads, making it great for breezing through Infected and multiple Walkers. It also has a low stamina usage and decent weapon range, which is good for getting the first hit in on zombies. However, it as a low durability, requiring constant maintenance and repairs otherwise it will quickly degrade to uselessness. Because of its low durability, fighting a Thug or other high health damage is better done with a superior sharp weapon such as a Homemade Machete, where they will not degrade as quickly, since fighting a Thug using a Cane Knife will easily use up half or more of its durability.
