To put it into perspective the player model shown when high level players play while have flashier animations which not only look cool but make the player look extremely nimble, it's hard to explain but you just look way better with skins on to a point where players do make weird associations like "karambit is an awp skin"
the reason why in the aforementioned association is because after firing the awp (bolt action sniper) players will draw their knife instead of waiting for the bolt to be reset.
the draw is animated and on the karambit, the draw is exceptionally flashy, since this is frequently done as a legitimate technique (you move faster with knife drawn in cs) then people see the flashy karambit animation very frequently
