The blade is a nebula: dense crimson and orange clouds near the guard cooling into cyan by the point, with light specks scattered across both faces and the fuller left as a pale slot. The guard and handle stay black, and the ring on the guard is the part by which a bayonet slides onto a rifle barrel.

The view model holds 3,406 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 38 bones, under five textures: a 512×512 sheet for the knife, three hand maps at the stock sizes, and a 64×64 chrome map, which is the GoldSrc trick for a mirrored sheen on metal. The idle runs 150 frames and every attack 28. The archive carries neither a p_knife nor a w_knife, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard, and no sounds are included.
