Combat Knives for the SPESS MEHREENS. Of course, due to their size, they are actually considered as a short sword by Human standards. Astartes Combat Knives comes in all shapes and sizes, and are often the standard issue CCW of Tactical Squads. 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.

They are best seen in the Space Marine Video Game where Titus is so awesome that [[Fist of the North Star|merely stabbing an Ork in the head causes it to blow the fuck up.]]

The [[Astartes_-_a_fan_made_animation|Astartes part 4]] animation shows what a Space Marine is capable of with this.
