Karambit
With its curved blade mimicking a tiger's claw, the karambit was developed as part of the southeast Asian martial discipline of silat. The knife is typically used with a reverse grip, with the finger ring on the index finger.

Description
The Karambit | Covert is a Counter-Strike 2 skin built on the iconic Karambit knife design. This model traces back to the CS:GO era, using the CS:GO (legacy) framework, which is why it remains a popular choice for players who want a classic knife look while playing in CS2.
As a Covert rarity item, the Karambit | Covert sits high on the rarity ladder. Items at this tier are generally harder to find than lower-rarity skins, but Valve does not publish exact drop-rate percentages for each specific skin. In practice, access depends on opening the listed cases and luck, with higher-rarity skins typically representing a smaller portion of overall results.
When it comes to variants, StatTrak is available (Yes), allowing players to display a kill counter on the weapon. Souvenir is not available (No) for this skin. The page also notes float range and available wears are not specified, so you’ll typically need to check the exact item listing to confirm condition-specific details.
Visually, the page lists the finish/pattern as N/A, so there is no confirmed named pattern style to reference here. Even so, the Karambit’s signature curved blade and hand-forward grip make it instantly recognizable, and Covert-tier presentation often means the overall look is designed to feel especially premium in-game.
Players can obtain this skin through multiple CS:GO/CS2 case sources, including: CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, Revolver Case, Operation Bravo Case, eSports 2014 Summer Case, Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, eSports 2013 Winter Case, eSports 2013 Case, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, CS:GO Weapon Case 2, and CS:GO Weapon Case 3. No specific collections are listed for this item, so your best path is usually case openings rather than curated collection drops.
Community-wise, the Karambit is widely considered one of the most sought-after knife models in Counter-Strike, and pairing that popularity with Covert rarity keeps demand consistently strong. For many players, it’s less about obscure pattern details and more about owning a highly recognizable knife with elite rarity status—especially with the option for StatTrak.
