Occam's Razor is a unique combat knife in Fallout 3.

CharacteristicsEdit

Commander Jabsco's personal weapon, Occam's Razor, is stronger than the basic combat knife in raw damage by a total of 3 points. It is aesthetically identical to the normal variant.

DurabilityEdit

Occam's Razor can successfully strike about 1200 times from full condition before breaking.

VariantsEdit

• Combat knife
• Stabhappy - Stabhappy shares all of its stats with Occam's Razor, but has one principle difference, that in it deals an additional 50% damage to limbs.
• Trench knife Operation: Anchorage (add-on)- The trench knife's stats are identical to the regular combat knife. The only difference is a unique "knuckle-duster" skin.
• Sim version combat knife Operation: Anchorage (add-on) - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs only in health (essentially non-degrading).
• Sim version trench knife Operation: Anchorage (add-on) - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs only in health (essentially non-degrading).

BugsEdit

• xbox360 pc If the Lone Wanderer kills Jabsco without shooting him, such as by hacking the turrets or reverse-pickpocketing a grenade, Occam's Razor won't appear in his inventory. This can be fixed by shooting his corpse. ^[verified]
