Because Bernard Levine told me that the users here were "more knowledgeable" when it comes to identifying knives, and don't charge for it.

Your attitude towards the forum being simply a free source of data for your pet projects is not the attitude we like seeing in new members, you are expecting respect from members here when you've shown none to them or to the forum as a whole.
 
A lot of the real knives around here are only used for creating digital images that people share with their friends. That’s kinda funny

Hopefully this experience will open his eyes and really get him into the hobby. I can't criticize him because I bought a SOG Seal Pup tigerstripe because of CS 1.6.

I was already into knives. However, most video game knives are not really useful designs in the overall scheme.

But fantasy knives have their place too. I lusted after Gil Hibben fantasy knives when I was 13. My neighbor got the SMKW catalog and I would just drool.

KingMC, I agree with you about the respect thing. The more I see of the OP, the more I see the modern equivalent of 13 year old me. Except I had a Sega Genesis.

Genesis was great. Sonic 2 was so hard, took my sister and I forever to beat it tag team.

Other favorites were Herzog Zwei, Eternal Champions, NBA Jam, and of course the og Mortal Kombat.

I still have Eternal Champions in it's original case, though no Genesis.

Well I'm sorry if I ever made it seem like I don't appreciate all the time and energy you guys put into knives. I never intended it to come across that way. I didn't want any bad blood whatsoever. I'm just tired of being lectured about this. But I would like to say that I definitely meant no disrespect to anyone here, as I have a tremendous amount of respect for all the users. I'm sorry if it came across like I didn't.
 
I ran across one that looks fairly similar to the first image of a folder except the blade is not black. The Camillus Keto Linerlock. I really don't understand why some of you guys are giving this poster such a hard time about his questions. If you are not interested then skip the post. If you don't read it then it is doing you no harm. Go about your business and let him ask his questions.

blade hq has one of the better knife search engines where you can specify the blade shape and other traits. That might get you a real word approximation for these.

Most video game knives are just that. Some maybe inspired by real knives, but generally it's expensive to have a license to put the real knife in the game, plus rendering issues etc. The closest homage to the real deal I remember was Counter-Strike 1.6 which looked very similar to SOG's Seal 2000. Otherwise, most are at the renderer's whim.

I haven't gamed in years unless at a party or something, but guns being larger are easier to get a better rendering. I have a friend in the gaming industry, if remember correctly he started out as one of the leads in the fallout series.

Also note that the knife industry is more volatile than guns. A design may only last a few years and be discontinued.

The Colt M-16/M-4, AK-47, and Steyr AUG have been in production for more than 40 years, the former two a lot longer. Don't have to worry about those becoming obsolete anytime soon.

I don't think many of the members of BF are gamers, many of us aren't young enough to have experienced the boom of online gaming at an age where it would be of interest. I still remember Atari, pong, arcades, pinball...

Still have my N64. From sophomore year of high school.

Only reason I know about all this is way back when I dated a girl who worked at an internet cafe, got me hooked on Counter-Strike 1.5. One thing led to another, and I was senior admin on a 1.6 server for five years. But I haven't really been active in 7 years.

@Gabe Newell the owner/co-founder of Valve, which produces Half-Life and Counter-Strike (yes, I know CS was started as a fan mod), is a fellow knife knut and a member here.

Is it A&R? I have one knife from this company, and it was designed by the same guy who create Punisher but in more classic style

You are right. I have edited my post. It's the Vostok by A&R Zlatoust. They have an interesting range with patterns quite different from what is usually seen.

Wow, small world. Very cool takes me back to working all day staying up all night. Ah to be 27 again...

The irony here is so thick you could cut it with one of the knives OP is looking for so he can steal the design for his phone game app he's planning on making for his "few friends". LOL

I never said it was for a phone app. It's just a non-profit video game I'm making. I prefer to play with my friends. Nothing wrong with that. I wanted to use real designs for the knives and this seemed like the best place to inquire about said design since I'm not a huge knife guy myself.

This game will NEVER be redistributed for ANY profit. I will not make ANY money off of it. That's perfectly legal. Lots of freelance programmers do that all the time. It's not a big deal. Not every video game ends up in the market place. And I suspect you would be just as judgmental towards me even if the answer had been something else.

If you hate me so much, fine. I don't think you were going to give me a fair chance anyway. But you're not getting anything out of camping in the thread to continue harassing me. And the truth is that your insistence on doing so is really immature. Why don't you just leave? It won't make you any less of a man.

He hasn't been on for over 3 years, I'm guessing he's not coming back or has a new username.

You made about five posts giving the guy a hard time and there were another few criticizing him and I make one to ask why and that makes the the irony pretty thick. If he uses the image of a particular knife in a video game it is a lot more likely to sell some knives for that knife company than do them any harm. Knife companies copy other company's designs all the time. How many Gerber Mark I and 11 or a Randall 1 clones are out there: dozens as well as so many other cases of 'homages' / copies. How many traditional slip joint knife designs are copied by many companies; again dozens. There are a lot of big knife companies out there doing it all the time. If he was copying a knife for a company that was going to produce it as a real knife I would agree with most of your posts, but I don't care about knives in a video game any more than somebody drawing a picture of one. What if an artist wanted a good picture of a particular knife so that he could render it realisticly in a painting? I have a realistic tattoo of a UDT knife, should I pay a royalty to Imperial for it?
