KnifeMania is a perk book series built entirely around knife combat, filling a gap left by the vanilla skill trees. It adds seven themed volumes plus a final mastery perk, each offering a distinct upgrade for blade-focused playstyles.

In-game, the perks improve bleeding damage, harvesting yield, knife durability, armor penetration, stealth, and combo attacks, culminating in a powerful mastery bonus that rewards fast, successive knife strikes. The books can be found in loot, trader inventories, and quest rewards.

This mod is aimed at players who enjoy fast melee combat, stealth approaches, or want knives to remain a viable weapon choice throughout the late game instead of being outgrown early on.
