Karambit | Tiger Tooth

Origin Story

The Karambit | Tiger Tooth, released on January 8, 2015, with the Full Spectrum update, quickly became a classic high-end knife. Its blade is anodized orange and hand-etched with a tiger stripe pattern, giving it a bright, clean, and timeless gold/orange appearance. This finish is renowned for its stability, meaning there are no "bad" pattern indexes, which contributes to its consistent premium look. As a rare special knife from the Chroma Case, it is widely considered a status symbol within the community.

Drop Chance

Karambit | Tiger Tooth is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.08. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear. StatTrak is available in FN, MW.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The blade displays a vibrant orange-gold color with crisp, dark tiger stripes and a strong metallic sheen, appearing clean with minimal to no noticeable wear. This is considered the premium choice for collectors seeking a perfect Tiger Tooth look.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The overall appearance remains very similar to Factory New, featuring bright orange-gold with clear tiger stripes, though minor dulling or very small edge wear may be visible at certain angles or under scrutiny, especially at higher floats. This tier is often seen as a value pick, offering nearly all of the Factory New appearance at a lower price.

Model

Tiger Tooth uses the legacy Karambit model, introduced with Full Spectrum on January 8, 2015. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

A StatTrak version is also available for kill tracking.

Visual Theme

Anodized: It has been anodized orange and hand-etched in a tiger stripe pattern. This results in a bright orange-gold base with darker, almost bronze tiger-stripe etchings across the blade. The outer curve and tip of the blade prominently display these metallic stripes during gameplay. Tiger Tooth knives are commonly compared to other gold or yellow knives, offering a simpler, striped gold option.

Sticker Compatibility

Since the Karambit | Tiger Tooth has no sticker slots, its "sticker compatibility" refers to how well it pairs with stickered weapons in a loadout. Its orange-gold blade and dark stripes complement yellow, orange, gold, and black stickers, often used to create a consistent "royal" theme across an inventory.
