The Combat Knife is lethal in the hands of a pro. It kills instantly if used to stab enemies, but its main purpose is for throwing; hurling the Knife at a close or medium range can kill in one hit and is handy to whip out when your primary weapon is reloading. Some even use it as their primary.
The Knife is thrown by pressing and holding down the discard-weapon key; the longer held, the further it will travel.

History in game
On its introduction into Soldat, one could only stab with the Knife, so it wasn't very dangerous at the time. It soon became real mean when the throwing option was added. Many people started to use the Knife and trained players could kill easily with it. To reduce some of this power, the throwing was changed; the throwing distance and speed of the Knife-throw, as of 1.3.1, now depends on the amount of time one holds the 'Discard Weapon' button; it's not as deadly if thrown at a close range. After a temporary reduction of Knife users, it seems it has resurrected as a favorite secondary, as many players have practised with this new function.

Version 1.3.1: Modified knife throwing * speed of knife depends on how long you hold the throw button.
