A green camouflage of overlapping blotches, from pale to almost black, spread over the blade and the handles. Underneath it is a balisong: the Philippine folding knife whose two handle halves swing around the tang and close over the blade.

The view model holds 24,592 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 53 bones, a good share of them going into the two swinging halves. Of its five textures, three are the stock hand maps of the game, one is a 64×64 map at the size GoldSrc uses for chrome sheen, and the knife itself sits on a 512×512 file named knife_butterfly_crimsonweb.bmp, a name left over from another finish. The idle runs 322 frames with an inspect in it, and the draw takes 32. The archive ships the view model alone, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
