I was thinking what if someone could make it so the zombies hold forks and knives (1 in each hand) while they chase and try to feast on you? The zombies would use the folk and knife to try and stab the player and they could still bite as well. But not scratch or lacerate since they're holding the folk and knife and can't freely use their nails. They may be able to use the fork and knife to grapple the player kind of like when barehanded though this would take health away. When the player is killed by the zombies you could see them feeding on your corpse with the folk and knife before you reanimate. If you die without being infected if the zombies find your body they can continuously feast on it. This would create a unique challenge to the player since the zombies would basically be using melee weapons to a very limited degree. Also it serves as good nightmare fuel and could even make the player panic more than with normal zombies! If the player kills one of these zombies they can get the folk and knife. I've imagined this funny scenario in my head for awhile and maybe someone could make it into reality.

Hi I thought about putting this into the bug section, but decided otherwise as it could also seen as a lack of feature. With the new 27 Build it got, at least for me harder to find a proper weapon. (I LIKE IT!!!! ) Result: I kill a lot of zombies with pens, pencils, forks spoons or with my hands etc. However: These kills are not honoured in the blunt or blade combat section!!! In Fact there are not honoured at all. Last time i killed 46 zombies with my hands or spoons or the like and i did not get a single xp from it. (I don't even know if the butter knife gets blade xp but i think not otherwise i would have a few.....) This is a serious bummer for me as i kinda like killing this way. Also actions/surviving in the game should be rewarded. My proposal would be: Make a hand to hand combat skill. This skill improves when you kill with improvised weapons or with your hands. With progression it would need less hits on the zeds to kill them. Other idea is to put spoons, forks, etc into the blunt category for xp gaining Would like to hear the opinion of a dev on this. Thanks a lot!

What is a Swedish Fork Knife?: These ergonomically designed Swedish Kitten knives feature stainless steel blades and provide good balance that gives the arm, wrist and hand a neutral and relaxed working position. The design increases leverage in cutting, utilizing the power of the whole arm and conserving energy, thus making it easier to use for those with a weak grasp and/or reduced hand strength. The Swedish Fork Knife is multipurpose knife with a two prong fork-like tip and a serration on half the blade. Few blades can cut through the thin skin of tomatoes as the 4.5 inch long blade of the Fork Knife. Excellent for food preparation and dining. Weighs 3 3/8 oz. What does a Swedish Fork Knife Look Like?: The stats are my interpretation of the knife, trying to be realistic (at least in my opinion). Spawns rarely considering how much damage it can do.
