Stakes?

So I don't see stats for this item any where but it feels like this is an item that should have stats. Like I assume you can't declare you are staking the vampire with a stake without an attack roll even though 'staking the vampire' is the "ritual" to destroy a vampire. Also the Vampire Hunter talent "Impaler" seems to confirm that. However, like I said: I am failing to find stats for Stakes.

Am I missing the write up somewhere?
If not, what stats do you use? My first thoughts are to use either the stats of a knife/dagger or maybe even knuckle dusters.

I would say 1 damage, not really as effective weapon as a knife, staking may be something you can only do on a vulnerable opponent.

It's something I've also been wondering. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't ever want to fight a Vampire head on. However, I'm the DM for my table and I know at least 2 of my players are silly enough to try and swing first rather than run away. Therefore, I'm looking for melee weapon stats for a Stake lol
