Pitchfork
"This handy tool can be very effective if you can get close enough to your foes to use it on them. It doesn't need ammo, so you'll always have it to fall back on if you need it." — Blood Manual
The Pitchfork is the melee weapon of Blood, and the first weapon the player uses, as it's automatically in the inventory. The player can never lose or drop this weapon and it requires no ammo, but it has no long range capabilities. It is a long staff with a forked, four-pronged end used to stab the victim. It's useful against Axe Zombie, Rats and Bats. It is the only weapon that has no alt-fire.
In Blood II: The Chosen, this melee weapon is replaced with the Knife.
AMMO TYPE: None
REGULAR FIRE: A single stab forward, causing four points of damage
