This is better at getting thach, flint,metal, and meat than the hachet

755 is the max damage for the pik and most weapons

These also deal torpor at 1 torpor for every 2 damage inflicted (you can sometimes knock out a carbonemys trying to kill it with one) but it is not recommended for taming as you will almost certainly kill your target before it gets knocked out.

What is the max dmg of metal pick

Best for thatch not wood and flint not stone
