combat knife
Soldier's close-quarters weapon
A combat knife is a sturdy, fixed-blade knife designed for military use.
Unlike purely ceremonial or utility knives, combat knives are built for close-quarters fighting as well as field tasks like cutting rope, prying, or digging.
The Ka-Bar, issued to Marines since World War II, is the iconic American example.
He kept his combat knife strapped to his vest.
