This skin currently uses the legacy CS:GO model.
With its curved blade mimicking a tiger's claw, the karambit was developed as part of the southeast Asian martial discipline of silat. The knife is typically used with a reverse grip, with the finger ring on the index finger. It has been stonewashed and given a black laminate handle.
