The Standard Kindjal is an Iron-tier short blade in Dune: Awakening, famous for its quick strikes and decent damage, so it shines in tight fights and can crack enemy shields. Put simply, it takes the plain kindjal and gives it a nice upgrade.
With 9.0 damage, the Standard Kindjal sits between the Copper-tier kindjal at 7.2 and the Salvage-tier Scrap Metal Knife at 5.5, yet it trails behind higher-level blades such as the Steel-tier Artisan Kindjal, which hits for 16.4. Short blades are made to be fast, and this one stays true to that, staggering foes and tearing through Holtzman shields before they can react.
Here is a breakdown of the Standard Kindjal damage and other stats:
| Weapon | Tier | Damage per Swing | Attack Speed | Weight | Damage Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Kindjal | Iron | 9.03 | 139 | 1V | Blade |
How to Get Standard Kindjal Blade
To craft the Standard Kindjal Blade you first need to research the “Journey – Moving On” objective in the Combat tab within the Iron Products category. It’ll cost 5 intel points to research.
Use a General Fabricator or a Weapons Fabricator to craft the Standard Kindjal Blade if you have the following crafting materials ready to go:
- 7x Iron Ingot
- 6x Blade Parts
- 3x Plant Fiber
You can also find the Standard Kindjal Blade in Shipwrecks, since these wrecks drop almost all its parts and, if you’re lucky, the whole knife itself.
Another alternate method is buying the blade from other players at the Exchange auction house in spots like Arrakeen or Harko Village, or make a straight trade with someone. If you ever want to sell it to the store, remember it only nets you 2700 credits.
