"A knife used for hunting. This basic, mass-produced item was made with affordability in mind, not durability." — English description |
"狩猟用のナイフ。 使い捨てられることを前提とした 粗悪な大量生産品。" — Japanese description |
Boot Knife, known in Japan as short knife (ショートナイフ shōto naifu), is a melee weapon in Resident Evil 4.
Purpose[]
This weapon can be used either for close combat, self-defense, or for crafting Bolts. Alternatively, these knives can be sold to the Merchant for 600₧.
Durability = 0.5
Location[]
In Chapter 7, while running on the Standard difficulty, Leon has the opportunity to acquire a knife from the first enemy encountered inside the Castle's Chapel.
From that point on, it takes over the role of the Kitchen Knife, being found from most sources throughout the Castle and Island while the Kitchen Knife ceases to be dropped from any source. Though like the Kitchen Knife, it is found more frequently when the player's more permanent options for knives are broken or unavailable.
In The Mercenaries, Boot Knives are an uncommon drop from all enemies, but they don't seem to drop at all for Jack Krauser. This is because Krauser's Fighting Knife has infinite durability, rendering the Boot Knife useless. These knives only begin to drop for Leon Scott Kennedy and Ada Wong when their main knife is broken or reaches relatively low levels of durability. It's important to note that the Boot Knife is the only knife that Luis Serra Navarro and Hunk can obtain, and they also start with one in their inventory. They also do not drop at all for Wesker, as he uses his shadow hand power in place of any type of knife.
