Karambit | Case Hardened is a Covert-tier knife finish from eight legacy CS:GO cases dating to 2013. Pattern seed determines blue coverage and value on the curved blade. Live prices across Buff, Skinport, CSFloat, DMarket and other markets, plus 30-day price history and per-wear listings.
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.
