Thank you Omar [Pervasive] for helping me with the Karambits!
Also thank you BroSkins[broskins.com] for providing both the screenshots of all case hardened patterns, and the ws server to check them out in game!

Karambit
Note:
Despite the community having agreed that 896 and 231 are the p1 and p2 patterns, I decided to pick the 2 best ones of the "no goo" patterns, and make 2 separate tiers.
