The Demon Fang Combat Knife is a 15 cm split blade combat knife manufactured by Apocalypse Arms.[1]

In-game description

The Demon Fang is a simple yet sinister split blade knife supported by a sturdy and lightly textured handle. Vibrant red cutting edges highlight the knife's unusual and intimidating look, guaranteeing to give anyone second thoughts about getting in its way.

Development

The knife was revealed during CitizenCon 2948 as part of a "digital goodies pack" backers could purchase on the Pledge Store. The knife, along with the CitizenCon 2948 Trophy were designed during the CitizenCon events by Cory Bamford and Olli Koskelainen.[2] It was later made available in the game as a Hangar Decoration.[3] It wasn't until Star Citizen Alpha 3.8.0 (released 2019-12-22), when melee combat would be introduced that the knife would also be usable as a personal weapon.[4]
