Combat Knife

the main difference between this one and the bone knife(or almost any other melee): you can swing it while sprinting. this is huge for melee skirmishes and hunting for hit and run striking

You can take this Combat Knife to the Small & Large oil rig or Cargo Ship to harvest scientist's for Cloth to make Bandage's to heal up and use less medical equipment.

Farming overview tl;dr:

Combat knife is #2 for barrel farming, and not recommended for roadsigns due to low durability.

The Combat Knife is considered to be the best harvesting tool in its class, use it as it is preferred over the Bone Knife .

Increasingly popular in roaming kits for its top-class flesh harvest, barrel ttk, and sprint quirk. Pretty economic to boot.

The combat knife has the ability to "untie" underwater crates and chests by hitting them.
It takes 2 hits for the sunken crate and 3 hits for the sunken chest.
It makes underwater farming way quicker.
