Trivia Highlights
The Falchion Knife, a unique item in Counter-Strike, features two distinct inspection animations. In its default animation, players can see the knife being spun on the palm and closely examined. There's a less common, second animation where the knife is balanced vertically on the player's hand for a brief moment.
Originally, this knife had a deployment speed advantage, opening in just .97 seconds compared to the 1 second of other knives, a difference that went unnoticed for two years until a fix was implemented on April 20, 2017. An interesting note is that the Falchion Knife's Chroma and Gamma finishes mistakenly show the Falchion Collection instead of their intended collections.
Despite its official pronunciation as "fôlʹshən," it is often incorrectly referred to as the "falcon" knife. The design of the Falchion Knife is inspired by the Espada (Large) from Cold Steel.
