★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Case Hardened (Battle-Scarred)

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 color case-hardened through the application of wood charcoal at high temperatures. A little color never hurt anyone
