Description

Swiss Army Knife

Updated to V 1.1

A multi purpose Swiss army knife.

This update is a small one to fix urgent distribution errors.

Features

A custom model and an icon.

It serves as a screwdriver but it currently cannot serve for vehicular uses such as unscrewing car lights etc...
It serves as a weapon same with the durability of an ice pick and damage. So it shouldn't be your first choice of weapon.
It serves as a knife for recipes such as; slicing bread, slicing melon, crafting some basic items.
It serves as a can opener.
It can act as a saw in several basic recipes to cut wood etc...

Currently the tool can be found from kitchen counters, or even zombies you've killed. Most common place to find one would be a tool store or a warehouse. However, due to its wide range of usages it can be found in many areas you would expect them to be.

Known Issues

When using the tool as screwdriver, animation shows a screwdriver instead of the tool model. Will try to fix it.

Please comment below if you encounter any issues.

it is in base game now

@CombineElite19 Do people still use my mod? :D I had stopped playing for such a long time, I've come back for short roleplays in b42. I was expecting for the mod to become a vanilla fature tbh. Not because of its popularity but it's a pretty common sense thing to have. I might check it out but testing and bug fixing requires a lot of time. I'll try to check it out if I can find some time in the next week.

Build 42?

I don't think I'll be able to update the mod any further since I don't play PZ anymore. And it seems like more detailed ones have been included in other mods, and swiss knives could become vanilla soon which I'm not sure though.

@Cirrus, for your question, if I understood correctly, the 3D model is a custom one, but the item is based on a corkscrew. It is a stabbing weapon with a few useful features, such as opening cans, dismantling some electronics.

What model is this one based on?

@semisocialist: I dunno if it's been abandoned, but there's also a Swiss army knife in either G.E.A.R. or Advanced G.E.A.R. so for me I ended up disabling this mod anyway. Seeing as the person who made G.E.A.R. and the mods related to it (Algol) is now part of the dev team I wouldn't be surprised if we see Swiss army knives becoming vanilla content in build 42 or later.
