Hunter Knife

The Hunter's combat knife.

"Firearms are more than enough for a Warlock to carry into battle. Knives always seemed extraneous to me until I saw what a Hunter could do with them. Everything has its place."

— Ikora Rey

The Knife is a multipurpose combat knife utilized by Guardians of the Hunter class. The Hunter's Knife is a utilitarian melee weapon, designed to ensure versatility in close-quarters combat. Hunters are capable of using the knife to silently eliminate their targets.

In the Gunslinger subclass, the knife doubles as a throwing knife. It can be thrown at enemies when its melee timer is fully charged; otherwise, the player will just stab with the knife. In the Bladedancer subclass, the knife is used as part of the Arc Blade super by being infused with Shock Light.

Trivia

• Early in the development of Destiny, it is possible that the knife would be the standard melee weapon for all classes as footage from the E3 2013 gameplay reveal depicted a Warlock wielding the weapon. This has since been changed in the Alpha, now that Warlocks and Titans get their own melee attacks in the form of Energy Drain and Storm Fist, respectively.
• The blade of the knife bears the insignia of the Hunter class.
