The Tonfa Blade is a bladed weapon featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Background[]
Bearing a heavy resemblance to the police "nightstick", this crude weapon features a salvaged sword blade with a side-mounted handle tied/taped on, a layout based on the Okinawan "tonfa". This makes it extremely effective in very close quarters, but is still difficult and dangerous to use, requiring a high level of skill and finesse to avoid self-injury.
Can be crafted with the right materials.

Tactics[]
Comparable to being a beefed-up Combat Knife, the Tonfa Blade is capable of doing extremely high amounts of damage, mixed together with the fastest attack speed of all melee weapons. The Tonfa Blade, however, can only be obtained through crafting, and shares the same weaknesses as the Combat Knife. Despite having high damage, per hit it has a large damage variance; this decreases the reliability of the weapon. Survivors using the Tonfa Blade may want to have a second survivor with more knockback to maximize this weapon's potential.
