Knock-Knock is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Gameplay[edit]
Knock-Knock is a unique variant of the Fire Axe. It is a cleaner, more powerful version, with a matte black handle and a polished steel head with a longer fluke.
Special Attack[edit]
It has a special Mauler attack, which does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 5 more action points (APs), but has a chance to knock down enemies (requires a Melee skill of 50).

| Damage per attack in V.A.T.S. | | Action point cost | |
| Damage per action point | | Additional effects | |
- Note: Melee weapons do double normal damage in V.A.T.S.
It is possible to execute Mauler outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
Durability[edit]
Knock-Knock can successfully strike about 545 times from full condition before breaking, 450 times less than the regular Fire Axe.

Location[edit]
Knock-Knock is found in Camp Searchlight's Fire Station. Once the player character has obtained the key from Logan, enter the Fire Station, head upstairs and search the bathroom stalls. The weapon is in the rear right-hand corner of the stall that contains a skeleton, behind the stall's toilet. It is in very poor condition and will need repairing to be used for more than a short period of time.
Logan can be killed, or the quest Wheel of Fortune can be completed, to obtain the key.
