Only downside is they are two-handed so no shield and their block power isn't great.

But I hear you can Parry with them. I haven't tried them, but I'm about to.

It works like another type of knife , but a pretty lame one, also is very cheap to full upgrade compared other silver weapons

The blade portion is claw, not the silver? I see the 'burn' when I use my silver sword, so I imagine that is the limiting factor?? The claws do the actual contact with the NPC...

Devs might buff it if they have more Un-Dead up their sleeves
