FAQ

How do I install a custom knife model in CS 1.6?

Put the .mdl files into your cstrike/models folder, overwriting the default v_knife.mdl, p_knife.mdl, and w_knife.mdl. Back up the original files first. Then restart the game or switch maps to see the new knife.

Where should I place knife model files in CS 1.6?

Put the knife model files in cstrike/models. For a localized version, also check cstrike_russian/models. The files are usually named v_knife.mdl, p_knife.mdl, and w_knife.mdl.

How do I change the knife model in CS 1.6?

Swap the current knife model files in cstrike/models with the new ones. After copying, restart CS 1.6 or change the map. To switch between different knife models, just replace the files again.

CS 1.6 knife model not working or not showing up?

Make sure the files are in cstrike/models and have the exact same names as the originals. Check that you replaced all three files: v_knife.mdl, p_knife.mdl, and w_knife.mdl. If the game crashes, the model might be corrupted or incompatible; try another one.

How do I restore the default knife model in CS 1.6?

Remove the custom .mdl files from cstrike/models and verify your game files via Steam, or restore from a backup. You can also copy the original files from another installation.

Do custom knife models work on online servers in CS 1.6?

Custom knife models are client-side and only you can see them. Some servers run consistency checks and may replace your models or kick you for modified files. Only use them on servers that permit custom content.
