suiciding with steak knife yields in cardboard tube message

[Noah Buttes]

IIRC, Discount Dan's steak knife was originally a retitled copy of the traitor chef's butcher knife. It has had the properties of a cardboard tube since bleeding was added into the game. So I am at least somewhat sure this is a bug leftover from that code expansion.

Discount Dan's knife also deals 0 melee damage.

No it was nerfed because it was absolutely complete shit when people abused the hell out of it.
