Tactics
The knife is an equivalent to the baton if you're really, really keen on killing people. Hitting an unaware enemy in the head or back will kill any basic enemy soldier instantly, but remember that this is not a stealth kill. In a head-on combat hovewer the knife is just horrible - if you're going to melee charge enemies you're better off with the crowbar. Still, most players carry the knife for breaking the supply crates - as it takes only one slot in the inventory, less than any other melee weapon.

Unique weapons
In Deus Ex: Invisible War, There is a unique variant of a standard combat knife: the Toxin Blade.

"Prototype special forces combat knife. Microporous metal releases toxins on contact. Designed for political assassination"

Hitting an organic target with it will cause them to convulse briefly and die silently. This weapon was later ported to the first game in Shifter, where it was first found in a barge filled with toxic gas in Hong Kong, but It is now found under smuggler's pillow.
