The blade is a flat emerald green that darkens along the back of the curve, without any of the swirled plating the Gamma Doppler name promises: the colour sits on the steel like paint. Handle, guard and ring are left black. The karambit comes from Southeast Asia, its curved blade follows the line of a tiger claw, and the handle carries a ring for the finger.

The view model holds 4,148 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, under thirty-six textures. Three are hand maps at the stock 252×123, 124×126 and 252×255 sizes, kept under the porter’s own file names. The rest cut the knife into pieces: six maps for the blade, four for the rim, two for the ring, three for the guard plate, ten numbered parts, and a second set of six blade maps that carries the glow. The widest of them is a 712×120 strip. There is no chrome map. The idle runs 268 frames, the draw 29 and each slash 35. The archive holds the view model alone, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
