Uses[]
The combat knife can be used for slicing, cutting, and stabbing, and (as stated before) be used as a AK-47 Assault Rifle's bayonet. When coupled with its scabbard, it forms a wire-cutting device, with the insulated polymer handle and scabbard allowing the user to safely cut electrified wires.
Test[]
The Iraqi combat knife was pitted against the cane knife of Pol Pot. The two weapons were tested by charging into a room and eliminating two sides of beef targets; one static, one mounted on a zip-line. The combat knife killed both with a stabbing speed of 40mph while the cane knife had a speed of 45 mph, but failed to kill the second target. The edge was given to the combat knife due to it's flexibility and portability.
