The name points at the illustrated skull of the CS:GO finish, but at this size the artwork reads as marbling: cream ground with red and black curls running the length of the blade and a warmer orange patch around the ring. The tip is left pale and unpainted. The hands are the stock black gloves. The karambit comes from Southeast Asia, its curved blade following the line of a tiger’s claw, with a ring in the handle for the finger.

The view model holds 14,570 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, and gets by on four textures: the three hand maps at the stock sizes, 252×123, 124×126 and 252×255, and one 512×512 file that carries the whole knife. There is no chrome map. The idle runs 268 frames and the draw 29. The archive holds the view model alone, with no sounds, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
