Flesh Cleaver

This article has been updated for Kenshi version 1.0.37 (Experimental).

A Flesh Cleaver is a Hacker Class weapon, with a decent balance between Cutting and Stun Damage, and a lower than normal Bleed Rate. It is the preferred weapon of Cannibals and the Shrieking Bandits. The Flesh Cleaver is tied with the Wakizashi for having the shortest reach of all weapons.

This weapon has inventory dimensions of 2x8, meaning it can only be used as a primary weapon.
