A dark blade printed with circuit tracks and contact pads, the lines picked out in light blue against near-black metal. A flip knife opens by the blade swinging out around its pivot.

The view model holds 26,198 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 50 bones. It runs on four textures: the knife map at 512×512, two more 512×512 maps and a 64×64 square that serves as a chrome map, the trick GoldSrc uses to put a mirrored sheen on metal. The idle runs 401 frames with an inspect worked into it. The archive ships the view model alone, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
