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.(Although called a knife, this weapon has since been upgraded to a dagger with the removal of knives in [[0.9]].)

Desirability

The Spriggan's Knife[1] is very useful to stabbers, especially those relying on spells such as Confusing Touch or Mephitic Cloud instead of Ensorcelled Hibernation. It is also very useful for summoners due to the distraction effect of summons granting free tier-1 stabs independent of MR or HD. Unfortunately, it isn't much use to other characters unless you find it very early on, since an unbranded dagger is a poor weapon for general combat.
