Butch's Toothpick is a weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics[]

Butch's Toothpick is a unique switchblade. It is owned by Butch DeLoria, a resident of Vault 101. Owing to its doubled base damage, higher crit damage and crit multiplier, it is significantly more powerful than an ordinary switchblade. It can be repaired with regular switchblades.

Durability[]

Butch's Toothpick can successfully strike about 300 times from full condition before breaking.

Notes[]

  • Sometimes, Butch can actually be seen picking his teeth with it at the Muddy Rudder in Rivet City, although it cannot be pickpocketed.
  • The weapon cannot be acquired if the player decides to kill Butch during their escape from Vault 101. It shows up on his corpse as a regular switchblade.
