You make it seem like a long and drawn out process when its not. Usually bashing one locker does the trick

Yes, all games in Cataclysmdda now start with using a rock to somehow turn a steel locker into a perfectly good knife. They typically progress by bending nails until you learn how to make a 100% functional sewing needle out of wood, which you will make out of your knife that you made out of a steel locker. Verisimilitude is not a high point of day 1 Cataclysm play.
I suggest cheat-menuing yourself a pocket knife and a sewing kit and forgoing the crafting and grinding, if you’re interested in an in-character playthrough.[/quote]
