Hollow Knight Channelled Nail Notes & Tips
- Nails are bladed weapons akin to swords and are used in a similar fashion, with slashing strikes forming the basis of their attacks. Nails are prevalent in Hallownest and are used by its guards, soldiers and other warriors. Nails can be seen wielded by various Enemies, Bosses and NPCs that The Knight encounters. The denizens of Hallownest also wield other weapons that appear to be variations of the Nail such as the Mantis Lords' spears and Hornet's Needle.
- The "channel" in Channelled Nail refers to the grooves cut into the blade's face where it meets the handle, visible in the equipment menu. Also known as fullers in traditional blacksmithing, these grooves aid in making blades lighter, which is reflected in the Channeled Nail's description of being well-balanced. Note that this property does not actually affect the weapon's swing-speed and is simply stated for flavor.
- While Nail appearances change in the menu as you upgrade them, these changes are not visible on The Knight's sprite when wielding the weapon.
