How Brass Knuckles and Knife stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
A pair of brass knucks that turn CJ's unarmed punches into bone-breaking hits without changing his animation. The earliest melee upgrade in San Andreas — find them in alleys, on dead pedestrians, or at hidden pickups across Los Santos.
A combat knife that lets CJ perform silent stealth kills when crouched and approaching enemies from behind — essential for the burglary side-mission and several Las Venturas heist setups. Spawns in kitchens, on Vagos members, and behind certain restaurants.
