Will butcher items work even when put in a sheath?

I currently have a hunting knife stashed in my boot with 30 butchering quality can I keep it in my boot and still use it to butcher or will I have to pull it out?

Should work fine.

I’d actually been wondering that too, but thought I’d found the answer was no. I’ll have to test it some time.

Occasionally I’ve noticed a bug crops up where it won’t use the butchering quality of a holstered knife, once it ignored even the ‘cut’ quality as a tool, but by the time I go to report the bug there’s an update out and the bug has re-fixed itself.

Can someone also test this for if you put a knife in a boot please? I would but my boots broke. :frowning:
