★ Talon Knife | Stained (Factory New)

This ivory-handled karambit features brass rivets and saw-tooth ridges, so it cuts on the way in, and tears on the way out. It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface. If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight
