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 believe it may be a usable weapon in [[Halo 3]], as it was on the chest of one of the several [[MJOLNIR]] however with the release of the game that was proven false. [[Armor Permutations]], [[Bungie]] has repeatedly confirmed that the armor is strictly cosmetic.
 
== 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.
 
== Trivia ==
 
*The ODST [[Action Figure]], made by Joyride Studios, has a Combat Knife that can be held by the figure.
 
*Also, it was [[Spartan-104]]'s favorite weapon.
 
*You may also notice that it appears in difficulty level badges from [[Normal]] to [[Legendary]].
 
*In Halo 3 Concept Art for EGM, a [[Spartan]] is shown with a combat knife on his right leg, however this was just an artistic look for the ODST armor.
 
*It is the UNSC equivalent of the energy sword.
 
*The combat knife can be seen in its sheath on the breastplate of the [[CQB]] armor.
