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. This memento from Siege is still perfectly operational although the exterior surfaces have rusted.\n\nScars build character
Introduced via the CS:GO Operation Vanguard case in 2023, Rust Coat Karambit is a newer addition and has gained popularity in CS2. Its worn, industrial look appeals to many players.
The blade has a weathered, rusted metallic look with patches of orange and brown corrosion, giving it an aged, rugged aesthetic. The handle is black with textured grips.
While not as popular as more vibrant skins, Rust Coat is appreciated for its gritty, industrial style and has a niche but steady demand.
