Survival Knife (Subnautica)

The Survival Knife is a basic tool crafted by using the Fabricator.

Usage
The Survival Knife 's main function is to procure samples of certain flora and corals, such as Creepvine Samples and Coral Samples. Though it can be used as a weapon, its damage and range are limited, and there is no real benefit to killing fauna in the first place. The Survival Knife has a limited durability of about 100 strikes against an object. After it's durability goes to zero, the knife still exists but can no longer be used. However, a zero durability knife can still be used in a Modification Station and have its durability restored.

By using the Modification Station, the Survival Knife can be upgraded to the Thermoblade or the Hardened Blade.

If a Bleeder latches onto the player's arm, the player can use the Survival Knife to stab the Bleeder.
