A teal blade scrawled over in white, as if chalk had been used on it: loose handwriting fills the curve, a small drawn face sits on the plate above the grip, and the finger ring carries a few more marks. The grip itself is warm brown wood, and the hands wear black gloves with dark padding. The karambit comes from Southeast Asia, and its curved blade follows the line of a tiger claw.

The view model holds 3,939 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, and twenty-eight textures carry it: three for the glove, the fingers and the skin, at 512×256, 256×256 and 512×512, and twenty-five separate pieces of the knife, the widest of them strips of 712×120 and 700×119 along the blade. There is no chrome map. The idle runs 268 frames, the draw 29 and each slash 35. What other players see was rebuilt too, at 1975 polygons where the stock third-person knife has 112, and the nine knife sounds ship with the archive. There is no dropped-knife model, so on the ground it stays standard.
