★ Karambit | Lore (Battle-Scarred)

The Karambit echoes a tiger claw through its curved blade; the finger ring supports a sure grip and swift handling. For the Lore treatment, it has been custom painted with knotwork.

The surface treatment emphasizes the knife profile and retains the natural depth of the metal from different angles. From different angles, the finish retains a coherent character while the blade profile remains easy to recognize.

The Lore design joined the Counter-Strike catalog as a distinct work with its own family of variants.

The finish entered the item catalog as a separate design with its own range of variants. On the Karambit, every Lore condition and special edition refers back to the same original design.

Within its original release, Karambit | Lore occupies the Covert tier. Rarity applies to the whole family: individual examples may look different, but their assigned level remains fixed.

On the Karambit, this tier distinguishes the work from artwork assigned to other levels. Special editions do not receive a new rarity; their labels describe the version rather than its place in the hierarchy.

The Lore treatment works with that character instead of burying the item's form beneath decoration.

On the Karambit, the Lore treatment uses the Custom Paint Job method, shaping the way the image meets its material and geometry. Condition determines the neatness of the surface, but the artistic foundation stays the same.

Karambit | Lore is easy to recognize through the pairing of a familiar silhouette with a distinct surface treatment. Its identity does not depend on inspecting tiny details.

On the Karambit, the appeal of Lore comes from the way artwork, surface, and silhouette support one another. Condition adds another visible distinction: cleaner examples preserve more of the original detail, while abrasion gives the same design a rougher, quieter character.

The edition range for Karambit | Lore consists of standard edition and StatTrak™. Available Karambit conditions are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred; abrasion and smaller details change between them.

No dedicated container is listed for Lore. Its available editions and conditions are still treated separately. Edition and condition describe different qualities, so matching wear does not merge separate versions.

The story of Lore starts with the game release that introduced it as a separate design. A specific case does not form part of this Karambit variant's origin; its official release provides the relevant context.

The origin of Lore is considered together with the model for which it was released.

The variant catalog for Karambit | Lore begins with standard edition and StatTrak™. The regular edition retains the item’s base properties; StatTrak™ adds a kill counter to the item.

A variant should be checked by edition before condition because the two traits never replace one another. Every Karambit | Lore variant follows the same artistic foundation, although edition and surface preservation distinguish individual examples.
