Translation talk:Combatknife txt/en

Like Pistols, knives may be used ambidextrously (is it true? twice damage in melee? I saw only "pistol" in the code... and this would require rebalancing... --Bandobras).

Multifunctional high-grade carbon steel blade. Can be used for anything from cutting ropes to carving up an alien when you run out of ammo. --Centron

Nice text. But are there any ropes in UFO:AI? Is there any use for the knife, other than stab at an alien? If not, I would opt for some more aggresive description (and higher stab damage or quicker stabs), e.g. inspired by Renaissance stilletos designed to bypass armor. I would also like to change name to someting less bland. I changed it to Combat Knife, which suggests a bigger knife, e.g. 7 inches. Is it OK with you? --Bandobras 19:16, 2 July 2006 (CEST)

Any chance we can get it painted black and add a jagged edge to make it look more convincing? And even if there aren't any ropes in game I wouldn't be against mentioning the prowess said knife might have at it. There's nothing wrong with adding some fun realism and depth to the story. Even mentioning how efficient a knife may be for butchering small woodland animals in the event of being stranded could be construed as all in good fun ;D.--ASA-IRULE 08:50, 5 April 2008 (CEST)
