Gold engraving of interlaced bands covers a dark blade, and the same gold picks out the edge of the hook. The hook sits on the spine, where a gut knife uses it to open a hide along the belly.

The view model holds 27,366 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040 and runs on 38 bones. Its five textures cover the blade, the arm, the fingers and the glove at 512×512, plus a 64×64 chrome map, which is how GoldSrc fakes a mirrored sheen on metal. The idle is 149 frames long and has an inspect worked into it. Other players see the new knife as well, at 12,004 polygons against the stock 112, but on the ground it stays standard, since the archive carries no model for the dropped knife.
