Chain Knife

The Chain Knife is a new weapon introduced in version 1.2. It is similar to flails and the harpoon weapon in the fact that while the weapon is retracting to the player it can deal additional damage to monsters caught in it's path. It can be found from Cave Bats as a rare drop, and from chests. The Chain Knife has a very short range of only twelve blocks. However its quick use time and velocity make it a very excellent early to mid game weapon. It is ironically good at killing quick flying monsters like the Cave Bat that can drop it.
