Bright blue runs the length of the curved blade, streaked with vertical darker lines, and a grey-white plume breaks out over the hook near the tip: the flame the name promises is a single pale smear rather than a full fire. The finger ring is blue as well, the handle stays black, and the hand wears the plain black glove of the stock game. The karambit comes from Southeast Asia, its curve follows the line of a tiger claw, and the ring takes the index finger.

The view model holds 26,772 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 38 bones, and only two 512×512 textures do all the work: the stock Leet Crew arms and one map for the knife. There is no chrome map. The idle runs 401 frames, the draw 46, the stab 67 and the slashes between 33 and 40. The third-person model is unusually heavy at 13,938 polygons where the stock one has 112, on the same knife map. No sounds and no dropped model are included, so on the ground the knife stays standard.
