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]]''.
 
== Trivia ==
*The ODST [[Action Figure]], made by Joyride Studios, has a Combat Knife that can be held by the action figures hand.
*It was [[Frederic-104|Spartan-104]]'s(Fred) trademark weapon next to the [[MA5B Assault Rifle]].
*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 was intended to be used in the early Halo: CE build but was cut before it made it into the final game.
*It was falsely speculated that this was to be used in [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]].
*It can be found on the chest plate of the CQB armor permutation in [[Halo 3]].
*It can be seen on the sheilds when selecting the difficulty levels. One on Normal and two crossed over each other on Heroic and Legendary
