Jagged Alliance and Deadly Games had two types of knife available, one simply called a "Knife" and the other a "Combat Knife", with the Combat Knife being more reliable, and dealing slightly more damage. These knives were the only option for melee combat in these games.
Equipping a knife is also the only way to prevent the Metavira Eels of Metavira from drowning your mercs.

Combat use[]
- This weapon is best utilized during night combat by a merc with Stealthy trait and Strenght, Agility, and Dexterity above 60. Kyle "Shadow" Simmons and Hamous are the best candidates for such task. A merc with the knife in their hand is set to Stealth mode, then ordered to approach the nearest enemy from behind. Once the merc comes close enough, they are given orders to attack enemy's neck with the knife. If the hit is successful, the enemy will die without the need for using firearms.
