      I am amazed how we discover new things about this game, even 5 years after its release :D

      • It appears through testing that it scales with max HP (ember does counts):
        Max HP = 300
        Light attack: +14HP
        Heavy attack: +18HP
        Charged Heavy Attack: +24HP

        Max HP = 2121
        Light Attack: +34HP
        Heavy Attack: +47HP
        Charged Heavy Attack: +62HP

        Cannot edit the page with every data I got between these two values, sadly.

          Current info is either wrong or outdated. Sharpen adds flat +20 HP per hit for Butcher Knife for the following restored: light attack 22 HP, strong attack 30 HP, charged strong attack 39.

            Are you still able to use the Sharpen weapon skill when your Great Machete has been infused with, say, a Crystal Gem?

              I think Sharpen is just a damage increase, but provides the Butcher's knife with the additional effect of increased HP absorbtion. It's a bit lack-luster(despite its visual indicator) compared to Warcry. It provides no additional/unique moves.
