Knives are compact melee weapons designed for speed, concealment, and precision. Ranging from utility blades to combat daggers, they are typically used one-handed and excel in close-quarters combat or stealth operations. Their short reach is offset by their speed and effectiveness in confined spaces. In Cosmic Odyssey, modern knives are crafted from advanced materials that allow them to penetrate light to medium armor, making them deadly in the hands of trained users. Often favored as off-hand weapons, they are commonly paired with a larger primary weapon or used for rapid follow-up strikes. Scouts, assassins, and survivalists also rely on them as tools or backup arms in situations where agility and subtlety are key.
