The Real Knife is a weapon detail found in Asgore'south Habitation, replacing the Worn Dagger in the Genocide Route. Its defensive counterpart is The Locket. It is the Genocide Route weapon item associated with the Offset Human, and is implied to belong to them.

Near the offset of the Genocide Route, its beingness is foreshadowed by a thought from Chara when examining the kitchen at Home: "Where are the knives."

Trivia

If the Real Knife is hacked into the inventory on a non-Genocide Route and is equipped, most monsters volition be able to be spared on the starting time turn, noting a fact that the monsters fearfulness the hostile nature of the weapon.

Its Steam Badge description of it makes an eerie reference to a rumor that came most from the Undertale Demo, where the Real Knife was supposedly able to exist found, information technology describes the Real Knife as, "A symbol of the bond between thespian and grapheme.", thus making a callback to that rumor.

The steam badge art

Despite beingness the strongest weapon in the game, it never sees any real use as the last enemy has merely one HP.

Unless yous hacked it in your inventory of course.

Information technology is recommended to use the Burnt Pan instead, as its healing bonus is the only useful effect provided by weapons against said enemy.

No spoilers today (;

It is implied that the Existent Knife is the same every bit the Worn dagger, but since the protagonist and Chara are two unlike people, the way the pocketknife appears and functions is dependent upon their interpretation.

The protagonist sees information technology every bit the perfect item for "cutting leaves and vines."

Chara sees information technology equally a weapon for murder, explaining the set on ability difference.
