Copper Knife FAQ
How do you get Copper Knife in Valheim?
Copper Knife is crafted at Forge from Wood x2, Copper x8, Greydwarf Eye x0, Bronze x1.
What are the stats of Copper Knife in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Copper Knife reaches. Some of those figures come from Valheim's own item tooltip; the rest — reach, swing arc, combo length, what the secondary attack multiplies — are read from the game files, because the tooltip never shows them.
How much stamina does Copper Knife use per swing?
A swing of Copper Knife costs 6 stamina, with a reach of 1.8 m. Stamina is what actually decides a fight in Valheim rather than raw damage: your food sets the pool, and a weapon that costs less per swing keeps you attacking where a heavier one leaves you standing still waiting to recover.
How much damage does Copper Knife block?
Copper Knife blocks 2, and a parry taken on the right frame multiplies that by 4. Both numbers are then scaled by your Blocking skill, so what is listed here is the floor rather than the ceiling.
How much durability does Copper Knife have?
Copper Knife has 200–350 durability, and can be repaired for free at a crafting station that covers it — repairing costs nothing but the trip, so there is never a reason to carry a worn one home.
Is Copper Knife worth upgrading in Valheim?
It upgrades to quality 4, and the table above lists every level with its own numbers and the exact materials that level costs, so you can see what the next step actually buys before you spend on it.
