Knifey is a sentient knife and melee weapon in the game that used to belong to Gene until he gave him away to the Torg Family. He is later retrieved by the player bounty hunter from being sold. He is also the only usable melee weapon in the game and the only way to open Luglox chests.
Knifey plays a role in various objectives to complete melee tasks from the Bounty Hunter Forum.
Appearance[]
Knifey tether.
Knifey has a red colored head with a grip that appears to be wrapped with leather, two large eyeballs (the right one being larger than the left) and a sharp silver blade. When Knifey is used as a tether, an intestine-like rope would be released out from the head with the blade at the end of it. Knifey also enable the players to reach areas normally inaccessible in terms of height, as well as swinging across obstacles.
Personality[]
An Australian speaking knife, Knifey derives pleasure from murder and looks to satisfy his thirst for blood and is also foul mouthed. But he does have a better side witch he shows with the Bounty Hunter and the Gatlians. First shown when he agrees to keep Kenny's secret about leading the G3 to Gatlus after he accidentally revealed it to him. And when the other infuriated Muckilon deliveries to help retrieve his package he is genuinely sorry for getting them dragged into his personal drama. The DLC High on Knife shows that being separated from his home planet caused him to grow lonely and homesick and he desperately wants to find a way home to his family and is deeply hurt by their rejection of him. But eventually accepts his new friends as his family after a short psychotic breakdown.
