- —Combo card description
The Knife Gloves are a combo weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining a Bowie knife with boxing gloves.
They are high damaging, fast, and very easy to obtain. There is a Bowie knife on top of the Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow news stand (jump on the displays, then climb onto the roof) right next to The Man's Sport, where there are six pairs of boxing gloves. Bowie knife-wielding zombies can also easily be found throughout Royal Flush Plaza. In Fortune Park, the southern maintenance room has both ingredients to make the Knife Gloves. They can also be purchased at the pawnshop in the Palisades Mall.
In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, a chef knife or a meat cleaver may also be used to craft the Knife Gloves, making them even easier to make, as there is an infinite supply of chef knifes at Antoine's in Royal Flush Plaza.

Trivia[]
- This weapon is one of the two weapons that Sullivan cannot disarm, the other being the Tenderizers.
- This weapon cannot be thrown, as the player will block instead, though this seems to not actually be effective at blocking attacks.
- The gloves' appearance may be a nod to the claws of Wolverine from the X-Men or Freddy Krueger, who has a similar signature weapon.
- The Knife Gloves actually have five knives on them, two of them being a chef knife. However, these are hidden in between the three Bowie knives and can be hard to see.
- The Knife Gloves were available in the Capcom massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Monster Hunter Frontier Online. Those who bought a Japanese copy of Dead Rising 2 were given a redeemable Xbox 360/PC code to receive it.[Verification needed]
- Many players consider the Knife Gloves as the closest equivalent to the small chainsaw from Dead Rising.[1][2]
- In the beta version of Dead Rising 2, the Knife Gloves were called the Claws.[Verification needed]
