“Close-range melee weapon.”

Overview

the Assasin's dagger is a knife avaiable to the Light body build.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The Assassin's Dagger is very cunning weapon that solely relies on the wielder to stab an enemy contestant in the back. All but the heaviest class characters will die in a single hit, but with the speed and finesse of a skilled assassin, it is equally lethal regardless. The dagger's prime weakness is that its damage output when not backstabbing is notably low, making a wielder a very easy target for any enemy who has noticed their presence. The Assassin's Dagger is commonly paired with the Cloaking Device specialization.

More interestingly than the knife itself is the Ominous Osthyvel self-inspect animation, expertly slicing a Prästost with the THE FINALS logotype on it.

Ominous Osthyvel Background Story

"A couple of weeks before the Closed Beta I was visiting an old friend. During dinner he told me a story about how dangerous a simple “osthyvel” (a traditional Swedish cheese slicer) can actually be… It was a hilarious story and I sent a text to Theodor (artist) and Oskar (animator) to suggest that it could be a weapon. Just two days later it was in the game.! For authenticity, they also scanned a chunk of cheese and then added the amazing slice taunt. The cheese is a Swedish traditional Prästost, you should try it when you visit Sweden, hehe." - Rob Runesson in an interview with RockhoundBlack, March 2023
