I think it would be cooler as a bayonnet. There's already a crossbow and a throwing knife...

An idea I had when I first saw the graphic
-----------
I was thinking of something like this (assuming this is a single handed pistol)

Single handed: Goes into your hand (Let's say the S key) with the knife attached... A little button will show next to the gun (S key box) on you gui... if you click this button and the other item slot (D) is empty you detach the knife from the gun and hold it in your other hand (D slot). So now you have a pistol in one hand, and the knife in the other.

Okay, so if you fire the single gun with the knife attached, the gun fires with alot of kick-back. This kick-back causes the knife to jolt upwards quickly, so if you're close enough to a person in addition to shooting them you will cut them with your knife attachment doing a bit of extra damage.

Now... If you have the gun in one hand (S), and the knife (detached) in the other hand (D) this happens: S fires the gun like above (same amount of damage from the bullet) But you don't get the extra close range damage from the knife (because it's not attached). If you want to use the knife for close range damage you have to hit the D button... Using the knife this way does more damage than the knife does when it's attached to the gun. You can't swing the knife when you're firing the gun, due to the kickback.

The dual works the same as the single with the knife attached, but you have two. You obviously can't have the knives and guns seperate when using dual guns. Hitting (S) fires one gun, (D) fires the other... S, or D should not fire both at the same time.

So yeah, that's just what popped into my head when I saw that. Take it or leave it... Add to it, comment, critique. I think it would be neat, what do you folks think?

As for that up/down knife sprite... try to re-draw it, and post what you come up with. If you're not happy with it I can try to help you out. It looks really good so far, I like it.
