Weapons were removed from lifepod fabricators following the massacre on Obraxis Prime. The survival knife is the only exception.

― PDA, Dialogue

The Survival Knife is a basic tool crafted by using the Fabricator.

Usage

The Survival Knife's main function is to procure samples of certain flora and corals, such as Creepvine Samples and Coral Samples. It can also be used as a weapon, but its damage and range are limited, and there is no real benefit to killing fauna in the first place.

By using the Modification Station, the Survival Knife can be upgraded to the Thermoblade or the Hardened Blade.

If a Bleeder latches onto the player's arm, the player can use the Survival Knife to hit the Bleeder.

Trivia

• Obraxis Prime is a reference to one of Subnautica's developers, Scott MacDonald, who goes by the alias of Obraxis.
• Markings on the Survival Knife indicate that it was made by "Alterra Arms Incorporated". Alterra is a corporation also known from the game Natural Selection 2, which was developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment, the developers of Subnautica.
• One upgrade that was intended for the Survival Knife included adding poison damage to the knife. Its likely to not be implemented due to the fact that killing dangerous aliens is hard and unnecessary.
• Survival Knife animations that were never implemented can be viewed here.
• The Survival Knife originally had durability, but it was removed due to it being deemed useless.
