A dark red blade with black webs spun over it, the threads radiating from a few centres. The Bowie is the large hunting knife of the American frontier, with a broad blade and a clipped point.

The view model holds 27,945 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 20 bones, across three 512×512 textures: the blade, the glove and the sleeve. What other players see was rebuilt as well, at 2,567 polygons where the stock third-person knife has 112, and it carries the same blade texture. The idle runs 175 frames with an inspect in it. There is no dropped-knife model in the archive, so on the ground it stays standard.
