Should the stone knife be available from the item shop?

[Taffinator]

Title says it all really! 

I have noticed that knife durability has been considerably worsened and break far quicker in this current patch (or me just being Paranoid!) but also the tweeks to Clothing with insulation and water saturation overhauls mean that more than ever people are crafting fireplaces to dry clothes and keep warm. 

My suggestion is to allow the stone knife to be an item shop spawn able, as it is utterly useless than for creating a small fire or opening a few cans or a few rags before breaking. I'm not up to speed on the User Terms the server has to abide to, but if it were a free item with a suitable cooldown between activations, would this be OK? 

With Namalsk about to drop (along with the temps!) it might be worth it...

I would be for it but Im pretty sure there is something in bohemia terms of service that prohibits the sale of items that offer an advantage by server owners. Sorry.

-1 from me homie. People shouldn't have any kind of advantage in my opinion just because they bought something from the item shop.

(also knives are pretty easy to find)

Being able to purchase anything that gives you an advantage shouldn't be on the cash shop, even something as simple as a stove knife. I'm sorry, but I just can't get behind this.

No, they are everywhere! I have been in every military complex and seen a stone knife on the floor. They are super common and it's ridiculous. I'd favor removing them from spawn in replace of real knives and let people use the rocks to make a stone knife.

I'm just imagining a hostage situation where you magically shit out a stone knife from the store, while tied up then proceed to stab the robber/hostage taker. It would be nice to start with, but you more than likely will not need it after an hour or two of scavenging when you have something far better. 
If you were to have a stone knife in the store it should be free, who would pay actual money for a stone knife.

Unfortunately we cannot do that.

Well, big man himself has spoken! Was a bit of a long shot but a non starter. Also, in my sleep deprived state last night I forgot to say it would be a free item, but since even this free item gives an advantage, I can see why it won't be allowed. 

Mods, are you able to close this thread please as it won't go further?
