★ Karambit | Tiger Tooth (Factory New)

The ★ Karambit | Tiger Tooth in Factory New (FN) is a golden-orange claw blade for CS2 with slanting dark stripes. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. This karambit comes from the Chroma Case, the Chroma 2 Case and the Chroma 3 Case. The float reaches only 0.08, so there are two wears: Factory New covers 0.00 to 0.07, and the remainder goes to Minimal Wear (MW).

What the ★ Karambit | Tiger Tooth looks like in Factory New

The arc of the blade is flooded with amber gold, and dark yellow stripes cross it at a slant, like claw marks on a hide. Valve describes the finish as orange anodizing with hand etching in the manner of tiger skin. The handle is gray and ribbed, while the ring at the end is orange, in the same tone as the blade, with lighter stripes.

The float scale of this wear of the ★ Karambit | Tiger Tooth lies between 0.00 and 0.07. A karambit is curved, so marks settle first on the point of the arc and on the inner edge, and on a golden ground bare metal shows at once. In Factory New the anodizing is intact along the full length. The wear of a copy is fixed at the moment it drops.

What to check before buying

Before taking the ★ Karambit | Tiger Tooth, look at these points:

• wear in the lot title: Minimal Wear costs a sixth more, and its band takes up only 0.07 to 0.08;


• name tag: one can be applied to a karambit, but stickers do not attach to it;


• edition: a StatTrak knife is a separate item;


• float: the wear is allotted 0.00 to 0.07, so there is nothing to choose between lots by condition.

What the ★ Karambit | Tiger Tooth costs in Factory New

The top wear is a sixth cheaper than Minimal Wear, so there is no extra charge for a clean arc.

Among karambit finishes Tiger Tooth sits at the very bottom. Four finishes cost less: Bright Water, Freehand, Damascus Steel and Safari Mesh. Marble Fade costs a fifth more, Forest DDPAT an eighth more, and Stained and Urban Masked a few percent more. Far above are Gamma Doppler (Emerald) at more than eight times as much, Doppler (Ruby) at nine times and Doppler (Black Pearl) at more than ten.

Getting the ★ Karambit | Tiger Tooth

You can open the Karambit | Tiger Tooth in any of the three Chroma cases, and the wear is random. In a contract, five Covert skins from one collection produce a rare special item, but the contract does not say which one. The Tiger Tooth you want is bought as a ready listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak edition of the Karambit | Tiger Tooth is available in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the Karambit | Tiger Tooth in this wear makes sense if:

• you want a golden karambit with an intact arc and no marks on the point;


• your CS2 loadout is built on warm tones, and the orange ring at the end repeats the color of the blade;


• you want the more affordable of the two wears this finish has.
