Choosing your first knife in Mafia: The Old Country’s Palio chapter isn’t just about style—it directly impacts how you approach stealth, takedowns, and loot. With three base blades and a few spicy DLC options, your pick can change everything from how you take out guards to how many lockboxes you open.
This guide breaks down each knife’s strengths, weaknesses, and ideal use cases so you can slash, sneak, or loot your way through Sicily like a true underworld legend.
๐ฎ Knife Classes Explained – What You’re Really Picking
Let’s start by breaking down the three knife types available in Chapter 2:
| Knife Type | Specialty | Durability Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scannaturi | Ranged Throw Takedowns | 1 per kill (throw) | Best for silent ranged kills, low durability |
| Rasolu | Instant Combat Kills | 1 per melee execution | Great for close-range melee, moderate stamina cost |
| Stiletto | Lockpicks + Stealth Kills | 1 per stealth/lockpick | High durability, great for exploration and economy |
๐ช All knives have unlimited basic slashes (no durability cost), but special actions will wear them down. Repair with Whetstones (rare loot) or swap out at Pasquale’s shop.
