- A custom inspect idle just for this set, if you use our Inspect mod (The only melee weapon inspect anim available at the time of writing)
Being British I have intrinsic knowledge of knife attacks and I felt greatly offended by there being not a single stabbing anim in the entire game, I have corrected this wrong by going all in on stabbing, stab, stab, stab.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 882 endorsements and over 25k downloads
- Adds fresh animations to two iconic melee weapons, making combat feel more dynamic
- Last updated in 2021, so it's stable for most current setups
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers two weapons—if you want animations for other knives, this won't help
- Requires kNVSE, so you'll need to install that dependency first
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want to spice up their melee combat with new animations for the Combat Knife and Chance's Knife. If you're a melee build enthusiast or just tired of the vanilla swing animations, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for broader animation overhauls or don't want to deal with script extender dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have kNVSE installed and activated before adding this mod, or the animations won't work.
- Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 to keep your load order clean and avoid conflicts with other animation mods.
- Test the animations in third-person and first-person to see the full effect—some animation sets only change one perspective.
