Curved bands of cyan, deep violet and amber run across the blade and spill over onto the guard and the finger ring, the colours meeting in hard edges rather than blending. A small line of lettering sits near the base of the flat. The hand wears the plain black stock glove. 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 3,939 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, under twenty-eight textures. Three of them are the stock hand maps at 252×123, 124×126 and 252×255, kept at their original sizes under the porter’s file names; the other twenty-five carry the knife piece by piece, from a 108×518 sliver to a 712×120 strip. There is no chrome map. The idle runs 268 frames, the draw 29 and every attack 35. The third-person model was rebuilt to 1,975 polygons where the stock one has 112, over twenty-four maps of its own, and the nine knife sounds ship with the archive. There is no dropped-knife model, so on the ground it stays standard.
