Heavy Knife

HEAVY KNIFE. (See also, KNIFE) The Heavy Knife is a knife specialized for close-quarters combat. Since its notorious use in both backwoods gouging fights and on the Southwestern frontier, its eventual adoption by the armed forces enshrined its position as a quintessential symbol of America. With a solid cross-guard and heavy blade, it's a step up on conventional knives when it comes to close combat.
