The '''Hunter Knife''' is a multipurpose combat knife utilized by [[Guardian]]s of the [[Hunter]] class.
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.
 
==Overview==
Hunters use their knife as a utilitarian [[Melee]] weapon, designed to ensure versatility in close-quarters combat. Hunters are capable of using the knife to silently eliminate their targets.<ref name= "Destiny Drawing Board">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Drawing-Board-The-Hunters-Knife/en/News/News?aid=11269 '''Bungie''': ''Destiny Drawing Board: The Hunter's Knife'']</ref> In addition, most Hunter subclasses channel their powers by infusing it in their knife.
 
In the [[Gunslinger]] subclass, the knife doubles as a throwing knife. Gunslingers carry a large supply of knives, which they charge with [[Solar]] energy to cause burns, explosions, or just massive damage to the targets they throw them at. Their [[Blade Barrage]] [[Super]] throws several of these charged knives at the same time.
 
In the [[Bladedancer]] subclass, the [[Arc Blade]] Super infuses the knife with [[Arc]] energy to massively extend its blade, damage and reach.
 
[[Nightstalker]]s mostly use smoke bombs and bows, but pull out two knives infused with [[Void]] for their [[Spectral Blades]] Super.
 
[[Arcstrider]]s mostly fight with their fists of a charged staff, but their [[Storm's Edge]] Super employs a knife as a focus for teleportation.
 
[[Threadrunner]]s latch their [[Strand]] power to their knives, turning them into a ''Threaded Spike'' they can throw across enemies with the melee or wield as a rope dart with the [[Silkstrike]] Super.

*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.<ref name="E3 2013 Demo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXTXPe7JIUk '''E3 2013 Destiny Gameplay Demo''']</ref> This may have been a placeholder though, as starting with the Alpha, Warlocks and Titans get their own melee attacks in the form of Palm and Punch, respectively.

*In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the knife is used by all Hunter subclasses except the [[Arcstrider]] and [[Revenant]]. The player instead uses their own fist to melee, similarly to Titans.
