Karambit

Modern Warfare 3 - Karambit

The Karambit is the best Melee weapon due to its fast mobility and you can run around and sneak up on unsuspecting enemies. A single swing can be fatal to your target, causing them to die immediately.

You may want to pick this knife if you're also planning to get the Covert Sneakers as this will completely silence your own footsteps in order to make some stealthy plays.

The Dual Kodachis lets you wield two katanas and you can swing a lot faster than most melee weapons, allowing you to run up to several enemies and catch them off guard by just spamming away multiple strikes at them.

How to Use Melee Weapons

Best Paired with a Riot Shield

Melee weapons are best paired with a Riot Shield equipped in the primary weapon slot to provide you with protection as you are most likely going to be vulnerable since you'll only be able to deal damage upclose.

Switching to your melee weapon will also put the riot shield at your back to protect you from enemies firing at you from the rear.
