This! It's hard to see how powerful knives are by looking at the numbers, but they work extremely well.

The key to berserkers is to be mobile and take our the other fuling first. The berserkers are so slow, you can just sidestep their attacks and then step back in for the next quite 3-hit combo.

Swords require more timing and strategy, whereas knife attacks can be spammed fairly freely as long as you've no more than 1 health food (so 2 stamina ones or stamina and balanced).

One of the primary benefits of the knife is that is uses very little stamina, which means that you don't need to use stamina food. A full 3-hit combo, assuming a modest bonus uses less than 20 stamina.

The knife secondary attack has range, eliminating the minimal reach drawback.

I'm not a fan of the secondary attack. It's great if you sneak up on something, get the 6X bonus with the secondary and follow that with a 3-hit combo, but, for me, it's too easy to miss a moving mob with the pounce.
