A red and orange dragon is painted along the blade, its claws and flame gathered near the grip, over metal that goes from gold at the base to pale silver at the point. The kukri is a Nepalese knife, known by the break where the blade turns forward, and that bend is where the weight lands on a cut.

The view model holds 14,770 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 49 bones, and four textures cover it: three at 512×512 for the knife and the hands, plus a 64×64 chrome map, the trick GoldSrc uses to put a mirrored sheen on metal. The idle runs 320 frames. The archive ships the view model alone, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
