The hooked blade is left plain grey with a fine hatch across the flat, the handle is black with a chequered thumb rest, and the blue is spent on the finger ring and a strip along the belly, with a small white emblem stamped on the side. The karambit comes from Southeast Asia, the curve of the blade follows the line of a tiger’s claw, and the ring in the handle takes the index finger.

The view model holds 3,939 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, under twenty-eight textures: twenty-five pieces of the knife and the stock hand maps at their game sizes under new file names. The longest strips, 712×120 and 700×119, wrap the rim of the guard; the two sides of the ring take 416×400 and 412×402. There is no chrome map. The idle runs 268 frames, the draw 29 and every attack 35. What other players see was rebuilt at 1,975 polygons where the stock third-person knife has 112, on twenty-four textures of its own, and nine knife sounds are in the archive. Nothing replaces the dropped knife, so on the ground it stays standard.
