Astartes Combat Knife
The Astartes Combat Knife is a close combat weapon used by all Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines.[2]
Overview
Only the great Astartes warriors would call this formidable weapon a mere knife - if it were not for the too-wide grip, humans could use these impressive blades as swords. Tough and thick, these knives are designed for in-close fighting and are often the last weapon a Space Marine will use when all others have run out of ammunition or power.[1] The blade of a combat knife is monomolecular.[7]
