Angular shards of red, cyan and white are strewn over a black blade, crowding near the point and thinning out towards the guard, while the handle stays plain 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 14,570 polygons against the stock knife’s 1,040, on 40 bones, under four textures: hand maps at the stock 252×123, 124×126 and 252×255, and a single 512×512 file that carries the whole knife. There is no chrome map. Inside the file the model registers itself as v_knife1 rather than v_knife. The idle runs 268 frames and the draw 29. The archive holds the view model alone, so in other players’ hands and on the ground the knife stays standard.
