Jeremiah's Knife was a tool in pre-redux Wintermute from Episode 2. it was removed in the 2018 Redux release of Episode 2.

Overview

Jeremiah's knife functions identically to a Hunting Knife: a self-defense tool, harvesting animal carcasses, Cloth from curtains/pillows, tinder from cardboard, breaking ice for Ice Fishing, and crafting at a Work Bench.

It was given to Will Mackenzie after graduating from Jeremiah's Survival School (Predux), and is used by Mackenzie to cut his hand to make the scent from his blood attract the Old Bear to his position, in order for him to kill it.

It was removed during the Redux of Wintermute: Episodes 1 and 2 and is now unobtainable, but is still present in the Wintermute game files.

Repair

Jeremiah's knife can be repaired with a Whetstone and the Sharpening skill, restoring 3% condition to the knife.

Harvest

It can be harvested for 1 Scrap Metal.

Combat

Jeremiah's Knife cannot be equipped, but may be selected to defend one's self at the start of a Wolf Struggle, causing it some Condition damage.

Trivia

On December 3rd, 2023, Jeremiah's Knife can be seen at 5:00 in the Part 4: Buried Echoes update for the Tales from the Far Territory (as seen in the video below). The knife, however, was not released in the update. This is the first time the knife has officially been seen since its removal in 2018.
Jeremiah's Knife was once again spotted in the May 13th, 2024 official developer update, as part of the Misery Mode concept art. <ref>https://hinterlandforums.com/forums/topic/45028-may-developer-diary/#comment-277941</ref>
