1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
The cane knife has a a large hand-wielded cutting tool similar to a machete, and its use is prevalent in the harvesting of sugarcane. However, it can be usad as a dreadful weapon, thanks to its thin broad blade, which elongates with a concave bend towards the point; this shape, in fact, distributes the weight in such a way that the weapon is capable of delivering a blow using the blade extension of a normal knife together with the momentum of a small axe. It means that cane knives are used in powerful swings, with the added weight on the curved end being intended for quick and strong blows.
A cane knife can be used to effectively cut through brush and undergrowth, harvesting plant stalks. A character gets 2+ on damage rolls and checks to clear away brush, undergrowth or profession checks that involve harvesting plant stalks, canes, cracking coconuts, cutting food.
