A larger version of the combat knife, called the [[machete]], was intended to be used in [[Pre-Xbox Halo|pre-releases versions]] of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' build, but was cut before it made it into the final game, replaced with the game's use of melee attacks from any weapon.

The combat knives eventually made their first official non-gameplay appearance in the difficulty level icons: [[Normal]], [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] icons feature one or two crossed Combat Knives. (''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' replaces them with [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|Suppressed SMG]]s.) The combat knives make their first gameplay appearance as ornamental add-ons on the lower backs of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s in ''Halo 2''. The combat knives also appeared in ''Halo 3''<nowiki /> live-action commercial trailer ''[[Halo: Landfall]]'', attached on the ODST's left shoulder. The weapon returns to ''Halo 3'' as ornamental add-on for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant|CQB]] [[Armor Permutations|permutation]], as a sheathed combat knife attached to the left chest section.
