Combat knife

The  is a melee weapon in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout Tactics, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, and Van Buren.

Fallout and Fallout 2
This weapon has a unique version, "Little Jesus", used by Lil' Jesus Mordino of the Mordino crime family.

Fallout 3
The Combat Knife is a rather common melee weapon in Fallout 3. It is affected by the Melee Damage Bonus from Strength. It is one of the better low-level melee weapons, and can get around 3-4 strikes in VATS even with a reasonable number of AP and a fast swing speed outside of VATS. However it has extremely short reach, about that of an Unarmed weapon.

The combat knife itself has a single edge with a clipped point, with a serrated edge on the back. It is of the standard Bowie shape, and is really more of a utility knife than an actual weapon.

Locations

 * Combat Knives are found on random Raiders and Talon Company Mercs across the Wastelands.
 * Three combat knives may be found in the Regulators Shack.
 * The combat knife, with 10 luck, becomes an extremely potent weapon that crits almost once every 4 to 5 hits.
 * 13 Combat Knives in perfect conditions can be found in the Mobile Base Crawler's kitchen, middle deck (Broken Steel required).

Variants

 * Occam's Razor - A slightly stronger version of the Combat Knife, wielded by Talon Commander Jabsco.
 * Stabhappy - Stabhappy shares all of its stats with Occam's Razor, but has two principle differences. Firstly, the raider that holds it respawns, allowing infinite copies to be obtained. Stabhappy also deals an additional 50% damage to limbs.
 * Trench Knife (Operation: Anchorage add-on) - The Trench Knife's stats are identical to the regular Combat Knife. The only difference is a unique "knuckle-duster" skin.

Trivia
The name of the knife in Fallout Tactics, Fallout and Fallout 2 could be a reference to Sylvester Stallone's role as Rambo in the First Blood series. Rambo was known for carrying a large combat knife. (The name of the company, "SharpWit"'s, double meaning also seems to point to this.)
