A '''combat knife''' is a multi-purpose knife designed for military use. Several types of combat knives are used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], as well as other [[human]] organizations. All UNSC troops are issued a combat knife for field and utility uses, as well as a backup weapon for desperate close-combat situations.
{{Quote|A sharp blade never runs out of ammo, doesn't need to recharge, and can't be disabled by EMP. It can be gripped even when mortally wounded and the Mjolnir's power has failed. It can never betray you or be turned by the Flood. And yet, some in the UNSC are surprised by the rapid adoption and popularity of knife-fighting skills among Spartans.|An observation regarding Spartan combat knife use.{{Ref/Game|Id=Garita|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=TAC/Garita Omega - Shoulder Armor Description}}}}


A '''combat knife''' is a knife designed for close-quarters combat. They are primarily used for [[Planetary warfare|trench warfare]] and [[Naval boarding|boarding actions]].{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=185}}
==Design details==
One version of the UNSC's multi-purpose combat knife has a 20-centimeter (7.9 in) blade made of high carbon steel, an anti-flash, non-reflective [[titanium]] carbide coating, edge coated for corrosion resistance and is {{Convert|43.3|cm|ftin|sp=us}} long when sheathed. It is also balanced for throwing.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 80''</ref> The [[Spartan-III]]s' standard-issue combat knife features a self-sharpening blade made of a hyperdense material.<ref>'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 77''</ref> Modern UNSC combat knives are made of strong enough material to pierce a [[Spartan]]'s helmet,<ref>'''[[Halo Reach]]''' - [[Multiplayer]]</ref> and the hull of a [[Lich]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level, ''[[Shutdown]]''</ref>


The Covenant use knives as well; the Jiralhanae use their [[Jiralhanae combat knife|own combat knives]] as well as a multitude of bayonet-like blades. The Sangheili sometimes use [[curveblade]]s, which inspired the design of the [[Type-1 energy sword]]. The [[blamite]]-bladed [[energy cutlass]] is an analogous weapon used by the [[Kig-Yar]].{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=329}}{{Ref/Novel|CH|Page=125}}
Some soldiers in service with the UNSC carry a combat knife of their own design or choice. [[Faison|Major Faison]] had a very large knife that he kept sheathed at his ankle, with the words "Bug-Hunter" engraved on the blade.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 104''</ref> [[Emile-A239]] used a large [[Wikipedia:Kukri|kukri]] for his weapon of choice.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Noble Actual]]''</ref> [[Roland (Spartan-III)|Roland]], a member of the SPARTAN-III program's [[Headhunters]] division, also used a custom combat knife.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[Headhunters (short story)|Headhunters]]", ''page 158''</ref>


==Overview==
The placement of the combat knife sheath varies depending on the combat uniform and individual loadout, and may be kept, for example, on the shoulder with the handle pointing downward, sideways on the lower back, or on the side of the boot.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 128''</ref> Some [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] keep their knives sheathed in a wrist compartment.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 3|Issue #3]]''</ref>

There are a few different manufacturers of combat knives for the UNSC, including [[Watershed Division]]{{Ref/Reuse|OSFM}}{{Ref/Reuse|Thornblade}} and [[Misriah Armory]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}{{Ref/Game|Id=M1|HINF|Detail=[[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)#Mark V (B) core|M1 combat knife]]}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Mk88|HINF|Detail=[[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)#Mark VII core|MK 88 Ratio]]}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Model52|HINF|Detail=[[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)#Mark VII core|Model 52 Navy knife]]}} In some cases, the Misriah logo was printed on the knife blade.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}
==History==
Knives have been used in battle almost since the dawn of warfare, first as a sharp piece of rock, and then when metal proved effective during a period of time where projectile weapons were not readily available. Even after the invention of the firearm, knives were still used as bayonets for close-quarters-combat and in the event of an enemy's cavalry charge. As more modern times came about during the 21st century, combat knives became almost exclusively used for utility purposes in the field, and were only used as a weapon during desperate situations, simply due to the fact that they were impractical for use during combat in most situations due to firearms and other advanced weaponry.


===Usage===
By the 26th century, the UNSC still use knives in their operations, showing that such an easily accessible and created weapon and tool still runs strong even thousands of years later. Even the Covenant use knives; the Jiralhanae use their [[Jiralhanae combat knife|own combat knives]] as well as a multitude of bayonet-like blades. The Sangheili sometimes use [[curveblade]]s, which inspired the design of the [[Type-1 energy sword]]. The [[blamite]]-bladed [[energy cutlass]] is an analogous weapon used by the [[Kig-Yar]].<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 329''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 125''</ref>

==Variants==
Large-scale manufacturing and broad leeway with usage means there are hundreds of variations available to UNSC personnel including [[kukri]]s, ulus, billhooks, and push daggers.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}

==Gameplay==
When performing an [[assassination]], any knives placed on armor will not be used. This can be seen in Theater: despite using a knife to assassinate your opponent, it still appears sheathed on your chest.


==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
*[[Fred-104]] possesses particular skill with combat knives, and it can be interpreted that he has a liking for their use.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 2'' (2003 edition); ''page 11'' (2010 edition)</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[The Package]]''</ref>
*When performing an [[assassination]], a second knife spawns out of nowhere. This can be seen in Theater: despite using a knife to assassinate your opponent, it still appears sheathed on your chest.
*In ''Halo: Reach'', the Security armor permutation for the right shoulder has a kukri on it. However, if a player equips it, there will still be a standard combat knife on your chest and the kukri will remain unused during assassinations.
*In ''Halo: Reach'', should the sheathed knife be moved by any chest permutations, the player will still sheath the knife in the default position (this is most noticeable with chest pieces such as Tactical/Patrol).
