Knife is the only unlockable 
Melee weapon available. Unlike 
Fists, knifes are capable of critical hits and subsequent killshots.
With sufficient 
Initiative and 
Speed, it is possible to utilize knifes quite efficiently and deal a great deal of damage to the enemy before they can retaliate adequately.
Despite the appearance, knifes can be 
Sabotaged just the same, so having one may save a more important ranged weapon altogether.
Like all weapon the knife affects (and is affected by) certain skills. For example a trooper with a knife can trigger Adrenaline or Tuck 'n' Roll on an enemy trooper, they may also be disarmed as normal. However the knife is in a special group of it's own and there are some things that affected all other hand held weapons except for knifes (such as Covering Fire). It is assumed that some skills will be of benefit to a trooper attaking with a knife but just what skill is still unknown. Eye of the Tiger is assumed to be useful but Laser Sights is unknown. If you do find a skill that has some affecte on a trooper attaking with a knife please add it to this page. Thanks

The unique knife
The knife has a number of unique things about it.
Firstly the kinfe has the lowest recovery time in the game at 40. In contrast the highest is 150, the next best being the Beretta and the FAMAS at 50.
Secondly the kinfe has no ammo. This gives the trooper infinite killing potential and 0 reload time, similar to the 0 reload time of the Pump Action Shotgun.
Thirdly the kinfe has a range of 1. This is important because of the target's ' minimum attack range '. All Launchers, Rifles and Assault Weapons (except FAMAS) have a minimum attack range, the range is ether 2 or 3 and they can not fire at any targets withing this range. It is very hard to get any trooper to move into the enemy's minimum attack range without a kinfe (even the shotguns are ranged at 4) and so this area is no real benefit to any other weapons.
Below is a short video of a trooper taking advantage of the enemy's minimum attack range. Before the fight the Motorcycle delivers the trooper to the edge of their maximum firing range, as normal, is this case with the knife the maximum firing range is 0 which is below the enemy's minimum attack range.
The second video shows the low recovery time needed to restrike with the knife, this can help to make the most use of initiative bonuses.
