Remember to look left then right, but I'll still get'cha

In the image and in a forum i've just read i also notice one of the spartans holding a knife so does that mean we get to use said knife, also like in halo 3 where on the CQB chest you have a knife that your character never even touches. so i was wondering if anyone thinks that reach would allow melee weapons?

Melee weapons? Halo 3 has them too, the hammer, the shotgun, and the sword.

If you want knives use the Spikers.

For all intents and purpouses, it is the human melee ranged weapon.

If it kills with one hit at melee range without killing yourself, its a melee weapon. Otherwise its close range. But just like weapons of any range, melee ranged weapons bleed into the close range where they can fight, though at a disadvantage. The Sword has the Lunge, the Gravity hammer has the gravity well, and the shotgun, well, it does damage, but it isn't lethal at range.
