In Halo Wars, Sergeant John Forge uses a Combat Knife he named "Lucy". He used it to wound Ripa 'Moramee, giving him enough time to kill him with his own Energy Sword. It is also used by Edward Buck to kill a Jiralhanae Cheiftain, after stabbing his neck.

In the upcoming game Halo: Reach, Combat Knives are going to be utilized in gameplay. When a player is behind another player, they will pull out their Combat Knife to preform an Assassanation.
