The '''Combat Knife''' (UNSC CQCWS) is a [[United Nations Space Command]] infantry-sized knife.

The multi-purpose combat knife has a 20 centimeter (8 inches) blade made of high carbon steel coated for corrosion resistance and is 43.3 centimeters (1 foot, 5 inches) sheathed. All UNSC troops are issued with a combat knife for close quarters combat, for situations when ammo is scarce and is also balanced for throwing. It only appears in the novels and on the backs of [[ODST]]s in [[Halo 2]].

It cannot be used in the games.  While some people believed it may be have been a usable weapon in [[Halo 3]], as it was on the chest of the C.Q.B [[MJOLNIR]] [[Armor Permutations]]; [[Bungie]] repeatedly confirmed that the armor is strictly cosmetic in appearance.
== ODST's ==
The only time a combat knife is seen is on the backs of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, though they are never seen using it.
