PD2 Wing Butterfly Knife (for Knife)

Benchmade 62 Balisong from Payday 2

The balisong (also known as the "butterfly knife", which may or may not have something to do with Benchmade's logo) originates from the Philippines, and had since been synonymous with bandits and all sorts of unsavory types, being an icon of prestige and style and an easily concealable weapon/tool operated with only one hand. While nowadays' unsavory types aren't usually exactly classy, the balisong is still a somewhat restricted thing to own and/or carry. In Russia, for example, the butterflies are restricted like the automatic (spring assisted) knives including the infamous out-the-front ones (which are sought after by unpleasant people) and their blade cannot exceed 90 mm. In a number of other countries it is outright outlawed. So you can carry around a ginormous Cold Steel Ti-Lite 6" in Russia, but you're better off getting a butterfly haircomb if you absolutely have to own a balisong.

Replaces the Knife (model only)

Since TLS update made the CS:S knife an official weapon (janky or not), I might as well replace it like I would a normal melee weapon, without all those script edits, unlockers, and other tomfoolery. Sadly, this cannot be said about the riot shield yet. Anyway, here's a less outlandish butterfly knife on CSGO animations, Sydney's own American balisong. I've separated the idle animation so that it has a rare fidget anim, my first attempt to use fidgets (it has to be a LAYER activity to ever show up in-game). It has two attack animations, played at random (and only one of them should work online, but who knows). Also, offline players will see a fancy item hand animation, which is a looping inspect anim. And instead of the inspect anim for shoving, I took Twilight Sparkle's punch from her knife pack. I used Henrietta's edited mod as a base, with empty weightlists, blending, and other stuff, although I might have cancelled all of it out, but I'll credit them anyway. Oh, and I tried using the third person model from PD2 as LOD 15, but I'm not sure whether it shows up in-game at all.
