Cutting weapon

Axes, knives and swords are all examples of cutting weapons. Every character starts the game with one.

Aside from being used in combat, cutting weapons are tools used in some game actions where axes or knifes can be used indifferently, like cutting spruce twigs or branches, felling slender trees, crafting clubs or staves.

Some actions, like skinning an animal or butchering a carcass for meat, require proper knives.
