Bandit's Knife | Dark Souls Wiki

EXTREMELY Important: Enchanted Scaling is A tier NOT B.
That means this is the best crit option for high INT builds, second option is Mail Breaker but lower crit damage.

Artorias, Manus and Kalameet are all immune to bleed, in case you were curious. Just something to keep in mind if you're planning on using this as your primary weapon.

It's only me or with this thing chosen undead looks like some psycho killer from slasher movies?

This is extremely viable weapon for weapon buff builds, especially if you go Sorcery path. Boost it with CMW+Power Within+Lingering Dragoncrest Ring and you have an extremely fast and powerful weapon which lasts from bonfire to bonfire.

If you are Dex build and don't mind very short range... Ask yourself what's your favorite fighting style beacause this one here is something between Painting Guardian Sword and Dark Silver Tracer.

If you want to focus on very quick slashes for stacking bleed effect and benefit from weapon buff use Painting Guardian Sword instead.

If you want to focus on massive riposte/backstab damage with Hornet and Leo rings use Dark Silver Tracer instead.

But if you want some kind of allrounder for doing both tactics at the same time... The Bandit Knife is the thing for you.

If you want greater range instead go for other dex weapons.

The bleed build-up, fast swing speed and low stamina consumption makes incredibly short work of the Stray Demon and Sif

Submit

Truly a godlike weapon

Currently on a playthrough with this and it's a ton of fun. The Imps in Anor Londo, however, are a freaking nightmare. One hit and they knock backwards out of your hit range.

I'm still deciding on when i'm max level, if the bandit's knife or the normal dagger does more critical damage because at what I am currently is soul level 365 so far they're both equal with critical damage but that might change over time because both of them have the same scaling... the thing is the dagger has more damage while the bandits knife has more critical rating. The thing I like about the dagger is when you put a buff on it (ex: Sunlight Blade) when you are using it in pvp it has many fast attacks and at +15 with sunlight blade it probably get around 300-500 dph (damage per hit) depending on armor, and resistances the players use it comes in very handy which i like very much but the range is the bad part about it. I meant like it does have pretty good range for a dagger but it's still hard to reach players, and i'm not saying everyone says it's cancer which I don't; every weapon has it's advantage... It's a beginning weapon anyways (for the sorcerer class) but it gets way better over time... moving on the the bandit's knife, it has it's good times and bad, but the critical is wonderful for when you get parries or back stabs, but the only thing I don't like about it is it's range (which is very short) and hard to reach when you got squirmy people who roll a lot, and the second thing I don't like about it is it's slashing attacks. Yes it does have one thrust skill which I believe is the rolling attack but the range again doesn't help... so if you're ever going for a dexterity build and know how to get parries or back stabs, you always can switch to that as your secondary, so I'd go for bandits knife for crits and daggers for all purposes pvp, except ganks; they just do not work out for you at all...
