# = the number of bars required to make, ex ## = two bars
*** Other ***
Large Knife : # : A quick but small weapon that is commonly found in kitchens. Compared to the Army Knife, it is better at stabbing, but worse at slashing. Uses the Dagger skill.
Pick : ## : Costs two bars to make, it’s used for digging, and is better in combat compared to the shovel. It is still very slow to swing, so quicker foes may get the best of you. Uses the Mining skill.
Spade : # : A simple spade shovel, it is used for digging. It can be used as a weapon. Normally, it is slow, bad at everything, and two-handed. However, you can sharpen it into a pole-axe-like weapon in the weapons workshop but it loses it’s digging ability. Uses the Mining skill.
Screw Driver : # : A small piercing weapon that uses the dagger skill. You might get a lucky kill.
*** Axes ***
Chop Axe : ## : A simple axe that can be used to split wood or chop heads. It is slow and cumbersome. It provides very good penetration, over a moderate area.
Hatchet : # : A small but capable axe that should be used more for wood cutting and will struggle with anything more fierce than your local bar fight.
Limb Hacker : N / A : Made in the Weapons Workshop with a pole and a lawnmower blade. Has a larger contact area than the chop axe but less penetration. Great for dispensing justice, and limbs!
*** SWORDS ***
Army Knife : # : A quick but small weapon that has been made common by the fall of the military. Compared to the Large Knife, it is better at slashing, but worse at stabbing.
Cane Knife : ### : Has a deeper penetration than the machete, but has a smaller blade.
Machete : ### : An all-around very good sword used for hacking limbs both tree and man alike! Other swords are more specialized, but nothing can replace this bad boy.
Sickle : ## : The quickest moving sword. It has the lowest penetration and area size, but has a quick strike that can bring down most foes. They won’t have time to raise a finger, cause it will be chopped off to!
*** MACES ***
Beater : N / A : Made in the Weapons Workshop using 4 arrow heads and a wooden pole. Freak your enemies right out of their skin with this menacing tearing weapon! Doesn’t have a blunt attack, but has a deadly strike and a painful drag.
Light Club : # : A quick and deadly weapon that in the hands of is capable of breaking several bones before the enemy manages to attack once. However while very useful for crippling foes, it lacks the killing power of most other weapons.
Crowbar : ## : Has the worst bashing end of all maces, but has a moderately good stabbing end and a quick striking end that make up for it.
Monkey Wrench : ### : Whether your deploying a sentry or just monkeying around this is the girl for you. She weighs twice as much as the light club and while slower than the club, once you break their legs, you won‘t need to worry about speed.
*** HAMMER ***
Claw Hammer : # : A quick but small hammer, it has a blunt hammering end and a sharp pointy end. That’s not the best part, it used to be used to build things! Can you believe that?
Sledge Hammer : ### : This heavy, two handed, and slow weapon is capable of shattering anything that stands in it’s slow swinging way. Metal that is better for edged weapons will also do better with this weapon. Because of it’s speed (Or lack of it) it’s best used in coordination with other weapons.
Splitting Maul : ### : A sledge hammer head on one side and a chop axe on the other. Both are slightly worse than their separate weapons. Because of it’s speed (Or lack of it) it’s best used in coordination with other weapons.
Tire Iron : ## : A slower, and less effective hammer but has a deep piercing stab.
*** SPEARS ***
Makeshift Spear : N / A : Made in the weapons workshop using a wooden pole and a large knife. Better than anything you can make in the forge. Stab stab stab stab stab. Can I really say anything else?
Metal Staff : N / A : Made at the Weapons Workshop using two metal rods. A large cumbersome metal staff that can break bones with a firm jab.
Pitchfork : ## : A slow cumbersome weapon with deep penetration. It can easily bring down a foe.
*** WHIP ***
Chainsaw Blade : # : A quick lashing weapon that affects a large area, but it has almost no penetration. It can be used to quickly subdue an unarmored target, but it will be less than helpful against armored or dead ones.
*** PIKE ***
Scythe : #### : This heavy and slow weapon has all the punch of a sledge hammer with all the choppity chop chop of the axe. Because of it’s speed (Or lack of it) it’s best used in coordination with other weapons.
*** RANGED ***
