The knife is typically used with a reverse grip, with the finger ring on the index finger. It has been cold blued. _This is the malbec of weapon design - Booth, Arms Dealer_

This Karambit has been painted in a "Patina" style, with the Blue Steel finish. A patina is a chemical reaction that forms a non-reactive, hardened shell over metallic parts. Real-life weapon patinas include case hardening, cold bluing, and acid forced patinas. That said, this particular skin has been mostly painted in shades of gray. The look of the Blue Steel finish is affected by its pattern index. The skin uses the old legacy model.
