Description

This Solid Snake knife is a handmade replica of the CQC knife Big Boss carries in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Big Boss is the soldier Solid Snake was cloned from. The replica has an angular tanto blade, saw teeth along the spine and an olive cord-wrapped grip. It measures 12 inches overall, with a 7-inch D2 steel blade and a 5-inch handle, and it comes with a tooled leather sheath.

The Knife Behind Snake Eater's CQC

Metal Gear Solid 3 is set in 1964 and follows Naked Snake, the soldier who becomes Big Boss and the genetic source of Solid Snake. He and his mentor, The Boss, use a short, stout knife alongside a pistol for close quarters combat, the CQC style the two of them built together. In the story, this knife-and-pistol pairing becomes a family trademark: decades later, an aged Solid Snake carries a knife with his sidearm in the same way.

The game knife is kept small so it handles quickly, and it has a cord-wrapped grip. This replica keeps both traits. The 2025 remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, brought Big Boss and his gear back to a new generation of players.

Steel, Grip and Sheath

The blade has a hard-angled tanto point, stepped saw teeth along the spine and a clean satin finish. D2 is a high carbon tool steel that holds an edge well and resists stains better than plain carbon steels, and the edge arrives sharp. A lanyard hole and a hooked finger notch sit just ahead of the grip.

The handle is wrapped tightly in olive green cord over the exposed tang. An olive lanyard runs through the pommel and is finished with a knot. The black leather sheath has a tooled scallop border, stitched edges, a snap belt loop and a metal ring at the top.

If the cord gets damp, let it dry fully, and give the blade a light coat of oil from time to time.

You'll find more blades from the series and other games in our gaming knife replicas, and more angular-point designs in the tanto knives collection.

FAQs

FAQ About the Big Boss CQC Knife

What knife does Big Boss use in MGS3?

Naked Snake, later Big Boss, uses a small CQC knife with a cord-wrapped handle, paired with his pistol for close quarters combat. This replica is based on that knife.

Is Big Boss the same as Solid Snake?

No. Big Boss is the original soldier, and Solid Snake is one of his clones. Snake Eater tells Big Boss's story decades before Solid Snake's missions.

Is this the Snake Eater survival knife?

No. This replica is based on the CQC knife, the short cord-wrapped blade used with the pistol. The survival knife is a separate item in the game.

What size is the knife?

It is 12 inches overall, with a 7-inch D2 steel blade and a 5-inch cord-wrapped handle.
