Extremly rare drop!

Hehe, used by skinners to skin

Comment by Rashigar

Throw a Fiery Weapon Enchant and send it around to your alts.

Any class, race and level can use so makes things go a bit quicker.

Comment by tlanwarrior

These can be placed in a skinning bag. I just learned of this, always thought that it was odd you couldn't put one in it.

Comment by Einhander696

Does it worry anyone else that this can be found in a crate of meat?

Comment by 163561

Can this be placed in a Fel Iron Toolbox too? It seems odd that only the Khorium Toolbox is listed.

Some people think this is a bank weapon, BUT IT'S NOT! Fine Scimitar (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=4560) us a much better alternative

After installing patch 3.2, it has come to my attention that my Skinning Knife has transformed into an Unbalanced Axe. I haven't heard anybody else mention it yet, or read anything online, so I guess it's just a freak accident.

And no, I haven't sold it by mistake as it sits in my supplies bag, in the middle of all the pots and bandages ;)
Plus, I actually pay attention!

Worgen skinners will have the joy of a free inventory space; their "Flayer" racial removes the Skinning Knife requirement in addition to +15 Skinning and a faster "casting" speed when skinning a mob.

Comment by Thottbot

It falls under none, it is not a melee weapon.

Comment by Thottbot

If a hunter would roll on this i'd reroll the opposite faction and make his life miserable

Comment by Thottbot

Do you think its possible to get a crusader enchant on this?

Comment by Thottbot

2.2 dps omg best weapon in the game!

Comment by Thottbot

Comment by Thottbot

Def a need for Rogues...

Comment by Thottbot

Bah, im just going to disenchant mine. I need some zesty clam meat.

Comment by Thottbot

I used this during a MC run because I forgot to repair my offhand. Good times...

Comment by Thottbot

I hear that the bonus to attack power from a fishing pole in combat is based on your fishing skill, so bonus attack power with a skinning knife would presumably be likewise based on your skinning skill. Don't think it's a knife to consider using it over anything else, but it can suffice if you forget to repair your weapons.

Comment by Thottbot

WTF why does it say it auctions for 8 gold?

Comment by Thottbot

are there any other knives that act as a skinning knife the same way some axes such as Miner's Revenge act as a pickaxe?

Comment by Thottbot

nope

Comment by Thottbot

how much does it cost?

Comment by Thottbot

Here's a serious question.
Are there any items of 'Skinning Knife' type that give bonuses to skinning skill ?

Comment by Thottbot

Andrion Darkspinner, in Shattrath, does NOT sell this item

Comment by Thottbot

just for anyone who isn't clear:

this knife needs to be in your inventory for you to skin a mob.

the finkles dagger (UBRS) / zulian slicer (ZG) can be used as a replacement for the regular skinning dagger but it will not give you the bonus just in your inventory but will allow you to skin mobs.

The only real use the plus skinning had was pre-BC and when BC first came out and you started to get your skinning to 310~25.

I only make these points because It's handy to carry one of the special knifes in your bag just in case to equip it for that little bonus, just in case blizzard adds something new in one day. Plus it allows you to skin just like a normal knife.

I'm a level 53 orc warrior on alonsus and i raided Bloodmyst isle and killed a trade supplies person and in the next 2 hours i got 20 of them and they each sell for 20 copper, i think and now i have 2silver! i'm thinking what i can spend my 2 silver on....KANG THE DECAPITATOR!

Comment by Thottbot

Just to let you guys know, I have seen one of these with executioner on it. THAT would be an awsome weapon for a lvl 19 rogue.

Comment by Allakhazam

If you just make a new char using daggers or swords, THis is great for you. First of all it has NO level require ments so you can get right when you get to a vendor there, Second of all its only 82c, and last of all its better then a worn dagger.....

Comment by Allakhazam

Can you use the skinning command w/o a skinning knif e in your inventory?

Comment by Allakhazam

Well I was out in the wilderness grinding some cats for the leather when my Rogue's dagger broke! I had my skinning knife in my inventory and I must say - it's a great backup knife if you are very very desperate for a new weapon of some sort. Strong(ish) and fast(ish) , this blade is pretty good.

Comment by Allakhazam

There are a dagger and a sword, both with +10 skinning.
The dagger dropps off the beast in UBRS, the sword drops off a boss in Zul'Gurub.

You will need one of these and the +5 enchant on gloves to skin e.g. Onyxia or corehounds/Magmadar.

Comment by Allakhazam

Is there a better skinning knife in the game then this? I heard that there is a skinning knife that drops that adds +10 or + 20 to your skinning ability but im thinking its just a rumor. I couldnt find it anywhere in Alakazam or thobot. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Comment by Allakhazam

do i need the skinning knife too skin, or can i use another dagger with more damage per second, and it goes faster?

Comment by SpareSimian

Rough Sharpening Stone can't be applied to Skinning Knife. I went and got skinning on my level one near Brill, then went back to the starting area and tried to use it as an uber weapon there. The knife is still better than the starter weapon one is "born" with but you can't buff it with temporary enchants.
