Not being able to recover knives is a BIG oversight. Surely it wasn't made on purpose. I just hope this gets fixed quickly. I like the game, I've been waiting for it FIVE years, but it's hard to defend in its current state. The bugs, the textures and the crashes don't help, now this and things like not being able to look at what clothes look like before buying them, hostages not running away once you've taken care of the gangsters holding them etc... That's a lot for a game that was supposed to push the boundaries. Right now we have to bare through and ignore lots of stuff to have fun.
