The '''multi-purpose combat knife''' has a 20 centimeter (7.9 inches) blade made of high carbon steel coated for corrosion resistance and is 43.3 centimeters (1.42 feet) sheathed. All [[UNSC]] troops are issued with a combat knife for close quarters combat or in situations when ammo is scarce.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], Spartan Mission to capture Watts</ref> 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]]'', as an aesthetic addition to the [[CQB]] armor, and in a cutscene in [[Halo Wars]] where John Forge killed The Arbiter with the combat knife.
