The Toy Knife is a weapon item found on the balcony of the Ruins overlooking Home. It is the first weapon in Undertale that the protagonist can equip and replace the Stick with. Its defensive counterpart is the Faded Ribbon.

When it is equipped and used to FIGHT, it depicts a curled, red slash animation. This animation and the sound effect it makes is shared with the Stick, Worn Dagger, and Real Knife.

Trivia

• The red slash animation and sound is preset at certain moments, regardless of the equipped weapon:
  • It is the default animation when the protagonist attacks Photoshop Flowey.
  • It is used to kill Flowey at the end of Neutral and Genocide Route.
  • On the Genocide Route, it is used twice when the protagonist attacks Sans during his "special attack."
  • On the Genocide Route, it is used without the FIGHT option versus Asgore.
  • It is used by the first human at the end of the Genocide Route.
• Comments in the code of the original UNDERTALE demo imply that the Toy Knife was originally called the "Soul Knife".
