Imagine how big that knife looks in soldat... then you need to figure out the size yours needs to be in proportion to it. Experimenting is the best way to learn.

Kunai knives aren't that big... it's not going to be more than 1 or 2 pixels longer than soldats knife.

Unless... you're talking about weapons for the weapons menu, in that case you need to look in interface-gfx/guns

Are you talking about the weapon-gfx or the interface weapons?

weapon-gfx (the weapon which your soldier holds and uses)

interface weapons (the weapons in the menu)

They are different files. The interface ones are much bigger and allow for detail.

Learn to Generalise the details by few pixels more or smaller, also save general design by good colors choice.

If you click right below the "8x" and inside the label zoom you get x10 zoom in MS Paint.
