This weapon is very useful to a stabber; the stealth boost can be what you need to approach a monster undetected, while the EV, Dex, and MR boosts may help you survive if things don't go the way you plan. For other classes, not so much, as its base damage is too low to be used against strong/high-AC targets even with the high damage enchantment.

The '''spriggan's knife''' is very useful to stabbers; more stealth is always appreciated when you need to approach an enemy undetected, and the EV, dexterity, and MR boosts may help you survive if things don't go quite the way you plan. For characters that don't bother with stealth or stabbing the weapon will serve little purpose, as its base damage is too low to be used against high-[[AC]] targets even with the high damage enchantment, and the lack of a brand doesn't help any either.

Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A dainty little knife.

This knife was made by Spriggans, or for Spriggans, or possibly from Spriggans. Anyway, it's in some way associated with those fey folk.

The spriggan's knife is very useful to stabbers; more stealth is always appreciated when you need to approach an enemy undetected, and the EV, dexterity, and MR boosts may help you survive if things don't go quite the way you plan. For characters that don't bother with stealth or stabbing the weapon will serve little purpose, as its base damage is too low to be used against high-AC targets even with the high damage enchantment, and the lack of a brand doesn't help any either.

History

This weapon was upgraded from a knife to a dagger with the removal of knives in 0.9.
