Hey there!
The reason why it is a cosmetic only item is because this game is not intended to be "Pay to win".
If they would give the knife only a slight buff they would create a unhealthy game and go against what they promote on there website.
Can players spend money in Apex Legends to receive a gameplay advantage?
No. In Apex Legends, we don’t sell any items that offer a gameplay advantage.
When you enter the Ring, no player will have an advantage based on how much they have spent.
Apex is supported primarily by cosmetics and new characters (which can also be earned).

What's so great about it is that you get a fantastic looking skin that very little people have been lucky enough to get, because it has extremely low chance to drop. It does look fantastic when you run around with it and as others pointed out, adding addional benefit to it will put the game into the 'Pay to Win' zone, which is never good. It's fine, as it is and its good that the developers are firm on their position to keep it that way!

- 7 years agoI actually don't mind this that much at all honestly, it's not game changing, it's not an advantage, it's simple and I like the idea a lot. They do already have special executions, I don't see why this couldn't work if we actually wanted to give the knife a little more UMPH.
