Refined CSS Knife on Tweaked Valve Animations V.1

Description
Woah, cool CSS!
Ayo, what's up?
So surely you've seen ihcorochris's Refined Combat Knife, with it being on the front page for a while, right? It's a great mod, I love it, but the first person animations weren't really my cup of tea. So what did I do? I took it and made the model use the default animations with a couple tweaks.

Changes:
- Adjusted origin position to try and hide the shove animations very visible arm cutoff issue at the default viewmodel FOV (51). It's still somewhat noticable on Nick, Bill, and Francis due to how their arms are modelled.
- Added idle noise similar to most other weapons, so it's no longer completely static during idle.

Please note the two videos linked are of Version 2 with a restored idle fidget. This version does not include that as it is still slightly buggy, and I know some people would prefer this version.

Read the description of this collection for information on custom skins.

Ah okay, understandable

Also I think the knife looks better at a larger size like this, the original looked kinda tiny compared to the other melees, especially with how the survivors were barely holding it in the default anims

if i downsized the knife then the idle fidget in v2 wouldn't look right, plus personally i like this size

also i considered putting it entirely on machete anims but it took so much work just to get this thing functional i think im just done working on it now, this took a full two days to get working right

Probably an annoying suggestion, but wouldn't it be a bit better to use the shove+idle positions from the Machete?

My only suggestion would be to size down the knife, cause holy shit does it seem so big
