A combat knife is a fighting knife designed solely
for military use and primarily intended for
hand to hand combat or confronting the enemy.
Ancient knives were used for various reasons and for
performing different tasks. Making a kill in battle or
something as simple as using around the camp fire
for carving wood or cutting objects that needed
a sharp blade to do for the task.
The following photos are from some modern knife
makers. The are incredible works of art and
would make anyone proud to own one.
