How to unlock the Cold Blooded achievement in Battlefield 4 - Definitive Guide
First, you need to aquire the knife.
You can do so by making your way to flag C on the map east from the flag is a container with a small set of stairs going up to it, underneath the stairs you will notice some frozen icicles. If you walk up to these you can grab them by holding . If the icicles are not their, they do respawn after about a minute or so so be patient and wait.
Now that you have the icicle, you need to kill somebody with it. Best thing to do is to set inside the rooms and wait for somebody to come in or peak out the windows looking for your prey, then quickly pounce on them before they know what happened.
IF YOU DIE, YOU LOSE THE KNIFE
You will need to collect it again.
Map: Operation Whiteout
Point: C
The Icicle can be found on the map "Operation Whiteout" at capture point C. It will replace your knife until you die. You can switch to your guns and still use it when you melee.
There is an area where i just run around in the video, this is the best spot i found where you can hunt enemies for the icicle kill.
Good luck!
NOTE - The icicle replaces your knife for one round, not permanently.
On the map Operation Whiteout you can pick up one of the icicles from a building at C flag CQ large, B flag CQ small. When picked up this icicle becomes a replacement for your knife and you can use it to knife people in the same way you would any other knife. Get a kill with this icicle knife to get the trophy.
Note you do not need to run around with the icicle equipped. You can switch back to your gun and play normally as the icicle replaces your knife. However, if you die you loose the icicle and will need to pick it up again.
A video showing how to get this trophy is below. Even though there are icicles hanging from many of the buildings on this map, it is only this specific one that you can pick up.

The icicle knife is found on two maps. On the Operation Whiteout map at flag B of Conquest (Standard Conquest) and flag C (Conquest Large.) There is a container at the base and underneath is a box where you will see some icicles, press on the icicles to pick up the knife. On the Hammerhead map at flag F, there are three boats on the frozen lake, the boat nearest to land has the icicles stuck to the side of it.
Once picked up the icicle replaces your currently equipped knife, although you're able to switch back to your primary and secondary weapons as you please. You lose the knife once you die, the icicle will respawn in their locations within 90 seconds.
Once you have acquired the knife, start to play in a more stealthy manner and attempt for a melee kill, best done when a lone enemy is capturing one of your bases so you're able to get the jump on them. Below is video showing the locations of the icicles on both maps. Credit goes to Predni:

You can also do it on the map "Hammer", capture point F, take the icicle on one of the frozen boats.
