The Kitchen Knife (simply known as the Knife) is a melee weapon that appears in the Hitman series. It can be used for close-quarter combat and stealth kills. In Hitman: Blood Money, Hitman: Absolution and HITMAN™, it is also used as a throwing weapon.

Hitman: Codename 47

Description

Gameplay-wise, the kitchen knife has exactly the same move-set as other short-bladed weapons, such as the Pentagon Knife, including stabbing and throat slitting. It may come in handy since it is available in most levels that have a kitchen.

Locations

• The Massacre at Cheung Chau Fish Restaurant - Can be found in the kitchen of the restaurant. This knife is bugged, and if holstered, will vanish entirely.
• The Lee Hong Assassination - Can be found in the kitchen.
• Traditions of the Trade - Found in the kitchen.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Description

The kitchen knife functions quite similar to the knife found in Hitman: Codename 47.

Locations

• The Gontranno Sanctuary - Inside the parcel that you find.
• Anathema - In the kitchen.
• Invitation to a Party - Found in the lower levels of the building where the chef is.
• Tracking Hayamoto - In the room where the fugu fish resides.

Hitman: Contracts

Description

In Hitman: Contracts, the kitchen knife gains additional animations for stealth kills. Additionally, you can use kitchen knife to get rid of small animals such as dogs without wasting ammunition.

Locations

• Asylum Aftermath - Found on a patient butchering a No. 48 clone and on the second floor.
• The Meat King's Party - Found almost everywhere.
• Rendezvous in Rotterdam - Various places in the basement.
• Deadly Cargo - In the galley of the ship and the kitchen in the police station.
• Traditions of the Trade - Stuck in the wall at the murder scene in room 109.
• The Seafood Massacre - Either with the chef in the kitchen or nearby him.
• The Lee Hong Assassination - Used by a chef in the kitchen.

Hitman: Blood Money

Description

In Hitman: Blood Money, the functionality of the kitchen knife mimics that of Hitman: Contracts. As Blood Money introduced the ability to throw items, the knife could be used to kill characters at a distance via the normal throwing controls. As with all other thrown objects it can act as a distraction.

Locations

• Death of a Showman - In the room with two gangsters snorting cocaine, stuck on the closet door.
• A Vintage Year - In the first floor kitchen of the Hacienda.
• A New Life - In the kitchen of the target's house. Multiple people patrol this area.
• The Murder of Crows - The cook in the kitchen of the Blues Oyster and the Latin Fever carries one.
• You Better Watch Out… - In the party floor's kitchen. A drunk man dressed as Santa Claus and a guard pass by the area. There are multiple knives there.
• Death on the Mississippi - Restaurant Deck, in the kitchen with the cake for Muldoon.
• Amendment XXV - In the East Wing's kitchen. The knife is found on the counter.
• Requiem - In the tool shed, southeast of the church.

Hitman: Absolution

Description

In Hitman: Absolution the knife acquired additional functionality. Stealth kills made using the knife are relatively quiet in comparison to a gunshot, however, if another NPC is close to the one being killed, they may hear a struggle and investigate. Similarly, if an NPC is killed using a knife, a blood pool will be left at the location of the action; other NPCs will become suspicious after being discovered. Additionally, because of the new melee weapon system expansion, the knife can be thrown and subsequently retrieved and used multiple times. As in Hitman: Blood Money thrown knives can distract guards and kill them.

Trivia

• There has been some sort of knife-like weapon in every Hitman game.
