The blade is eaten through with rust: a rough brown-red crust covers both faces and only the very edge keeps a thin line of clean steel. The handle halves stay dark grey with visible pivot screws, and the hands are wrapped in worn leather and cloth bindings that run up past the wrist instead of the usual gloves. A balisong is a Filipino folder whose two handle halves swing around the tang.

The view model holds 21,042 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 42 bones, which is heavy work for GoldSrc. Thirty-one textures cover it: a 376×742 map for the forearm wrap and a 544×542 one for the glove, plus separate strips for every piece of the knife, among them a 44×1157 sliver for the inside of the blade. There is no chrome map. The idle runs 363 frames and the draw 24. What other players see was rebuilt at 5,262 polygons where the stock third-person knife has 112, and sixteen sounds ship with the archive. There is no dropped-knife model, so on the ground it stays standard.
