Combat knife

Combat knives are mainly used in close combat in the Resident Evil Series. The character usually starts with this weapon as a last defence in case of a zombie attack. Later games give the knife more of an offensive purpose such as in Resident Evil Code: Veronica where the player is able to rush and slice a zombies legs out from under them. In the latest installment of Resident Evil the player is able to efficently switch to the knife with a press of a button.
