CURATOR'S NOTE
The strength of Case Hardened comes from restraint as much as colour. Blue establishes the identity, while Gold and Brown control the edges and negative space. On the Karambit, that balance follows this specific finish treatment especially well.
DETAILS / CLOSE-UP
PRIMARY FIELD
On the Karambit, the main body carries most of the Blue; in Case Hardened, this becomes the first area the eye reads and the clearest expression of the finish.
COLOUR BREAK
Across the secondary panels, Case Hardened uses Gold to interrupt the main field. On this Karambit, that break gives the colour-shifting surface treatment enough rhythm to stay legible.
MATERIAL EDGE
At the grip and hardware, Case Hardened becomes quieter. Brown and the underlying material define the boundary between painted surface and the Karambit's functional geometry.
