How do you get Flint Knife in Valheim?

What are the stats of Flint Knife in Valheim?

They are listed above, at every quality level Flint 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 Flint Knife use per swing?

A swing of Flint Knife costs 4 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 Flint Knife block?

Flint 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 Flint Knife have?

Flint 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.
