| | |
| The '''Close Quarters Combat Weapon System''', otherwise known as the '''Combat Knife''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] infantry-sized knife.
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| The '''multi-purpose combat knife''' has a 20 centimeter (about 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 or in situations when ammo is scarce. It is also balanced for throwing. It only appears in the novels and on the backs of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] in [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]], but it never makes an appearance in any of the games, expect for a minor appearance as a synthetic addition to the [[CQB]] armor.

| | |
| ==Appearance==
| |
| It cannot be used in the games. One of the few times a combat knife can be seen in game is on the lower backs of [[ODST]]s and on the left chest of the [[C.Q.B]] [[Armor Permutations|armor permutation]], though they are never used in combat. Also, it does have a serrated edge, for better cutting effectiveness, like other combat knives as mentioned in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''.
