Wooden Knife FAQ
How do you get Wooden Knife in Valheim?
This item is not crafted. It is gathered, dropped or found in the world.
What are the stats of Wooden Knife in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Wooden 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 Wooden Knife use per swing?
A swing of Wooden 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 Wooden Knife block?
Wooden Knife blocks 12, 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 Wooden Knife have?
Wooden 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 Wooden 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.
