The only good melee weapon is the hammer.

Think of Italy — which reminds me of California in so many ways — and its chronic inability to form a government. That’s California, with even better food and no parliamentary system.

I don't think I ever needed to use any melee weapons. I always had enough ammo, and ran from most of the enemies.

I never used the knife, only once. And it sucked. It's too weak :?

I beat one of the Silent Hill games using only the knife and running like crazy but I honestly can't remember if it was SH1 or SH3. Also it was only on normal.

It's really fun to take on the lizard in the nightmare school with the knife on hard mode. Well... until you die anyway, lol. I get him up to when he does his insta KO attack and then I have to switch to gun and hop backwards. Really wish I had the mad skillz to kill him solely with the knife... damn I suck.

I actually found the axe to be genuinely useful in the sewers. Completely useless everywhere else, but it worked well against the lizard-dudes.

I pretty much used the steel pipe through the entire game, stockpiling my ammo and using my firearms only when a boss fight came along.

I tried using the knife at the beginning, but had all kinds of trouble with it -- the Air Screamers and Groaners were just too fast for me to hit with such a close-range weapon, and the Air Screamers would only be prone to attack for a moment before hitting me, then zipping past me. Due to my frustration at the beginning, I just never pulled it out (giggity) again to try to use it effectively against other creatures.

The pipe, however, has never let me down.

The knife for me, unless on easy mode, is just too hard to use as you've got to be so bloody close to the enemies. I pretty much use the steel pipe [unless I need to use the pistol/shotgun for bosses or tonnes of enemies at once] all the way up to finding the emergency hammer. That and the rock drill are where it's at.

Kudos to anyone who can use the knife well, though!

I tried to use the kitchen knife in an attempt to conserve ammunition. As wonderful and useful as it might be in other games, it is utterly pathetic and useless in this game. Perhaps not exactly "useless" but rather just not user-friendly.

I would have liked the knife better if when you snuck up on an enemy, you could perform an execution.
