Chicken Knife (チキンナイフ, Chikin Naifu?) is a recurring weapon in the series. It usually coexists with a Brave Blade, and is usually the opposite of it. The Chicken Knife can usually be used by any class or character.

Appearances

Final Fantasy V

Chicken Knife is the strongest knife, and can potentially become stronger than even Ragnarok if the player runs away 255 times (as a sword, the Ragnarok only benefits from Strength, while the Chicken Knife benefits from both Strength and Agility). The Chicken Knife has 127 Attack; it grants +5 Speed; and when attacking with it, it has a 25% chance of making the party run automatically from the fight. Commands other than Attack, such as Rapid Fire and Mug, bypass the auto-running trait.

The Chicken Knife can be found in Moore in the merged world, and the player has to choose between it or the Brave Blade. The player must head to the left of the inn and go as far as possible, then go down, to two barrels in a line next to a tree. The player should then head in front of the barrels and descend into the small building and into the woods. In the woods the directions are: down, right, down, left, up, right, down. On the last direction, the party will freeze and the screen will go fuzzy, then two boxes and an old man will appear. He tells the player to pick a box, one with the Chicken Knife, and one with the Brave Blade.

If the player chooses the Chicken Knife, the man turns into a skeleton and walks away while making chicken sounds. He doesn't make chicken sounds in the Japanese text–instead, he has an unusual laugh. Why this was changed into clucking noises in the localized version is unknown.

The Berserker class glitch involves the Chicken Knife being wielded by a Berserker, a job naturally unable to be commanded to run from battles.
