Hunting Knife Durability

All tool have a duribility rating and will slowly count down to zero as we use it. Once this number reaches zero it will self destruct and remove itself from our Inventory. When this happens we will need to make another.

As your skills improve you will want a better knife that will allow you to gain bonus items per use. you can find these knives in (Tools > Resource Tools > Hunting Knife). You will need a few resources to craft these better tools mainly Wood, which can be farmed using the starter tool Crude Hatchet.
