The curve of the blade is painted as a shark’s mouth: red across the flat, a row of white triangular teeth along the edge, an eye in yellow and orange near the ring, and an orange line following the spine. The karambit comes from Southeast Asia and its blade repeats the line of a tiger’s claw, with a ring in the handle that takes a finger.

The view model holds 3,939 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, and the paint is spread over 28 textures, one per piece of the mesh, the stock hand maps among them. None of them is square: the widest run 712×120 and 552×299. The third-person model was rebuilt at 1,975 polygons where the stock one has 112. The idle runs 268 frames and nine knife sounds ship alongside. There is no world model, so on the ground the knife stays standard.
