This home-made knife is as dangerous as it is easily concealed. Its presence can't be detected by others.

The Shiv is a weapon in Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

A slang term in some areas around the world for sharpened weapons shaped from common objects, especially those made in jail. Also called shanks.

The staple of prison movies, Shivs are crafted from scrap metal and old tape. They do little damage, but are better than an empty hand when going rounds with a surly Raider.

It's the weakest weapon in the game and, ironically, also the rarest. No vendor sells it and it is found only on hostile Los ghouls very rarely.

  • Los, Very rarely, the ghouls equip this weapon.
