The view model holds 3,406 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, close to what the engine was built to carry. Of its five textures one is a 64×64 chrome map, the trick GoldSrc uses to put a mirrored sheen on metal. The idle runs 150 frames with an inspect in it. The archive ships the view model alone, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
