The Knife is a close combat weapon in Left 4 Dead 2.

Location
Due to the ubiquity of combat knives in real life, it can spawn in most chapters, although it is rare to find more than two.

It is found in the following campaigns:


 * Dead Center
 * Dark Carnival
 * Swamp Fever
 * Hard Rain
 * The Parish
 * No Mercy (Left 4 Dead 2 only)
 * Death Toll (Left 4 Dead 2 only)
 * Dead Air (Left 4 Dead 2 only)
 * Blood Harvest (Left 4 Dead 2 only)
 * Cold Stream
 * The Last Stand (Left 4 Dead 2 version)

Pros

 * Decent attack rate.
 * Can be found in most campaigns.
 * High spawn rate.
 * Can cut a Smoker's tongue.
 * Doesn't shake the screen when swung.

Cons

 * As of The Last Stand Community Update, it swings in a tapering curved arc (The widest being the extending part of the swing, and the shortest being the retracting down to the hip end of the swing, like a real slash), making its range pitiful. The slash arc also aims downward at level vision, to balance the arc the player would have to look upward 15-20 degrees.
 * Attacks may obscure user's vision due to gore.
 * Not ideal for attacking large groups of Infected.
 * Not recommended for killing Boomers due to bile showering attacker and any nearby Survivors.
