Karambit | Ultraviolet

Origin Story

The Karambit | Ultraviolet, released on January 8, 2015, with the Full Spectrum update, features a menacing blade with a sleek, two-tone finish. Its individual parts are spray-painted in solid black and purple, creating a stark contrast. The design emphasizes an elegant form combined with a brutal intent, as highlighted by its flavor text. This finish style gives the Karambit a distinct and powerful visual identity.
