Combat Knife (Fallout: New Vegas)

The combat knife is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A large knife designed for both combat and survival. It has a long blade with a notched edge intended for cutting rope and small branches.

It has a special 'Back Slash' attack, which does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 14 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Variants

 * Chance's knife - A much more powerful variant located in Chance's grave.
 * Assassin - The Caesar's Legion assassin sent to kill President Kimball carries a special version which is "non-playable". This prevents the weapon from normally being shown in inventory, e.g. when pickpocketing the assassin. The weapon is otherwise identical to the standard combat knife.
 * Cass - Rose of Sharon Cassidy carries a special "non-playable" version of the weapon, also otherwise identical to the standard version.

Locations

 * Combat knives are incredibly common across the Mojave. They are often randomly spawned in containers and bins, or can be found in almost all weapon stores.
 * One in good condition can be found on a blackjack table in the Vikki and Vance Casino. Go into the big, main room with the car, take a right, into the small room, and it should be on a table in the back right corner.
 * There's one on a table in the headquarters building in Cottonwood Cove.
 * Captain Curtis at Camp McCarran has one in full condition during the quest I Put a Spell on You.
 * Orris has one if you kill him in G.I. Blues.
