(The mod toolkit reveals this item to be not a longsword, but a shortsword, and the parent object of Knife_of_the_Undermountain_King. In fact, it references the same stat block, making it functionally identical to that item, rather than a less-powerful variant. It's possible this is a bug, and I have noted this on the page. For now, I have changed the page to reflect the stats as shown in the mod toolkit.)

| notes = * The effect [[Organ Rearranger]] stacks with other passive effects that improve critical chance, including ranged attacks and spell attack rolls [https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/16yt4g0/psa_organ_rearranger_and_what_it_applies_to/][https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/1662vcv/knife_of_the_undermountain_king_other_crit_easier/].
| bugs =
* The damage reroll is not applied to thrown attacks, including throwing the weapon itself.
In the game files, the ''root template'' of this sword (corresponding to the UUID, <code>5908898d-5d9e-40de-ab07-3f8fb5f0174c</code>) actually describes a shortsword, which is also used as the basis for the [[Knife of the Undermountain King]].
* The [[Shadow Blade (passive feature)|Shadow Blade]] passive granted by this weapon does not grant advantage against obscured targets, instead seeming to do nothing.<sup>[Hotfix 25]</sup>
 
| bugs = This item was originally listed as being statistically identical to a basic [[longsword]], but the mod toolkit shows it to be a shortsword, and the parent object of [[Knife_of_the_Undermountain_King]], with identical visuals, stats, and abilities. The WPN_KingsKnife stat block can be found, and is identical to the stats for a basic longsword, but that stat block appears to be unused. It seems likely that the King's Knife was changed to match the Knife of the Undermountain King at some point during the game's development. This could be intentional, or it could be a bug.
In fact, the magical properties of the [[Knife of the Undermountain King]] are also added to this King's Knife root template (via the <code><nowiki><Stats></nowiki></code> tag), meaning that this item should have those properties as well.
 
However, the actual weapon entry for the King's Knife (corresponding to the UID, <code>WPN_KingsKnife</code>) also inherits properties from the regular longsword weapon entry (UID <code>WPN_Longsword</code>), which ends up making this item functionally identical to a common longsword instead.
