Knife

The Knife is the quintessential stealth melee weapon in GTA VI, perfect for silent takedowns during heist setups and covert operations across Leonida. Fast, lethal, and concealable, the knife lets Jason and Lucia dispatch guards and rivals without alerting an entire compound. In a game that emphasizes planning and approach variety, the knife is essential for players who prefer the quiet path.

A fixed-blade tactical knife with a black rubberized handle and a clip-point steel blade. The design is military-inspired and compact enough to fit a belt sheath. Variants may include a serrated-edge model and a bowie-style option with a larger blade.

The knife is the fastest melee weapon in terms of attack speed, allowing rapid slashes and stabs that can drop unarmored targets in two to three hits. Its stealth-kill capability makes it uniquely powerful for approach-based gameplay, though its extremely short range puts you at a disadvantage in open brawls.

N/A - potential blade style variants (tactical, bowie, switchblade).

Sold at Ammu-Nation locations across Vice City from the earliest chapters, found in kitchens during home invasions, and occasionally dropped by gang members in Little Haiti and Haitian Quarter encounters.

• The knife has been a stealth-kill weapon since GTA San Andreas, and GTA VI is expected to expand its stealth takedown animations significantly.
• Trailer footage shows Lucia performing a unique knife takedown from behind cover - a new contextual animation system.
• In GTA V, the knife was one of only two weapons that could perform instant stealth kills alongside the suppressed pistol.
• The switchblade variant, if available, may feature a unique deployment animation when drawn.
