Small Knife

The small knife is a tool and a weapon. As a cutting weapon it has many different uses. It's probably the most useful knife for skinning small animals, and is the best tool for harvesting bark. A very weak weapon by itself, it could be changed to a light spear (Can no longer craft light spear), but the javelin is a better spear and doesn't consume the knife.

Comment: Knives are generally a last resort weapon. A javelin in hand is better than knives. On the other hand, they are truly irreplacable. You should always have at least two knives on your person:  a small knife/fisher knife for delicate tasks, and either a hunting knife or skaramasiki for general tasks.
