Karambit Knife

The Karambit Knife is a combat knife used in the Call of Duty: Black Ops mission "Executive Order".

Call of Duty: Black Ops
It is used to kill a Russian soldier by sticking it into the base of an enemy soldier's skull, just above the tip of the spine, killing him instantly, allowing the player and Frank Woods to take their uniforms and infiltrate the launch site. Unlike a normal blade, it is shaped like a claw.

Trivia

 * The Karambit Knife is used for the remainder of the mission as the melee knife. This can be seen by looking upwards and pressing the melee button.

 * To knife the guards you can use melee or the fire button but only for the first cutscene with the knife.
 * The Karambit knife is a well-known weapon in the Filipine Martial Arts (Kali Silat, specially).
