Pisau tempur

Pisau tempur "KA-BAR" USMC.

Pisau tempur adalah sejenis pisau laga yang dirancang untuk keperluan militer dan terutama diperuntukkan dalam pergumulan satu lawan satu atau pertempuran jarak dekat.[1][2][3]

Sejak berakhirnya peperangan parit, kebanyakan pisau tempur militer dirancang untuk keperluan berfaedah lainnya (membabat dedauan, memotong dahan pohon, membuka peti amunisi, dsb.) di samping kegunaan sejatinya sebagai senjata pertarungan jarak dekat, dan dapat dikatakan sebagai pisau alat-laga.[4][5] Di sisi lain, pisau militer yang terutama dirancang untuk digunakan selain dalam pertempuran biasanya disebut dengan fungsi utamanya, misalnya "pisau utilitas" atau "pisau sintasan".

  2. ^ Burton, Walter E., Knives For Fighting Men, Popular Science, July 1944, Vol. 145 No. 1, p. 150: A combat knife is specifically designed for military use, and is thus a more restrictive category than that of a fighting knife or tactical knife, either of which may include knives designed for civilian use. Thus, a bowie knife designed for civilian sale and use may be termed a fighting knife, but not a combat knife, while the U.S. Army's M3 trench knife, designed specifically for the military for close-quarters fighting, is both a combat knife and a fighting knife.
