Flesh Cleaver

This article has been updated for Kenshi version 1.0.37 (Experimental).

A Flesh Cleaver is a Hacker Class weapon, with a decent balance between Cutting and Stun Damage, and a lower than normal Bleed Rate. It is the preferred weapon of Cannibals and the Shrieking Bandits.

This weapon has inventory dimensions of 2x8, meaning it can only be used as a primary weapon.
