Dak's Bowie Knife SCAV Edition

Just a tiny balance patch that I deem necessary when using Dak and Pig's bowie knife.

The bowie knife deals a few points more damage than the vanilla combat knife, which I find perfectly balanced and immersive as the bowie has a bigger blade afterall. This makes Pickman's blade still the best knife in base game, followed by the bowie, then the combat knife, and lastly the switchblade. Balanced, as all things should be.

With the edition of Nuka World however, I think Bethesda realised that the knives would not be able to stand up to the elevated toughness and damage of Nuka World's unique enemies, so they added SCAV #2 to allow knives to remain a viable melee class and fun to play. What the description does NOT tell you however, is that the 25% damage increase ALSO applies to the DISCIPLE BLADE. This fuckass cleaver not only blows the other knives out of the water with its base stats, it has the nerve to have a purchaseable unique legendary variant with a legendary effect as strong as Pickman's, AND receives a damage buff meant to make the other members of its class viable and balanced??? Without this patch, the bowie knife is beside the switchblade in terms of performance (after getting the magazine).

I could not shake away this thought as I played through Nuka World and was going crazy by the time I got to Fizztop Grill, so I spent a day learning how to make patches and made this. I have Pig's approval to publish this.

Install via mod manager (I use Vortex, no idea if it works well with MM2), or place the ESP directly into Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data.
