Combat knife

The Combat knife is a low-tech skill weapon in Deus Ex.

Background
The knife is an ultra-high carbon stainless steel knife, a popular choice among many individuals & organisations. It is standard issue in UNATCO and MJ12 forces, but is also issued to NSF troopers.

Other military/peacekeeping authorities also carry Combat Knives as part of their load-out. Certain civilian individuals also carry Combat Knives for self-defence in times of social insecurity and political corruption.

Game unit
The knife is a lethal equivalent to the baton. Hitting an unaware enemy in the head or back will kill almost any humanoid instantly, but remember that this is not a stealth kill. In head-on combat, hovewer the knife is horrible - the crowbar's range is much more effective head-on. Still, most players carry the knife for breaking supply crates until they get the Dragon's Tooth Sword, which renders all other melee weapons obsolete in all categories but size.
