All CS2 (CS:GO) Karambit Skins

The Karambit is a curved, claw-style blade with a finger ring at the base. Both CT and T players can equip it, and it replaces the default knife as a cosmetic item only. The inspect animation spins the blade around the ring in a fast loop. Collectors rank it at the top of the knife category, and even the cheapest finish costs about $325. The hooked blade and ring set it apart from every straight-bladed knife model. Ready to claim a top-tier blade?

Best Karambit Skins in CS2 (CS:GO)

Karambit skins come in many colors and patterns, including the green camouflage of Forest DDPAT and the purple and gold tones of Fade. For more detailed finishes you can also go for Crimson Web, Case Hardened or Doppler. Prices start around $330 for cheaper options, while rare Doppler Black Pearl versions can exceed $7,000.

The CS2 Karambit also has a curved blade and a spinning inspect animation, which lets you see its finish from different angles. StatTrak versions are available to track knife kills, but skins don't affect damage or movement speed. 

Why Are Karambit Skins Popular in CS2?

The curved blade and finger ring give the Karambit a silhouette no other knife shares, and the spinning inspect animation is one of the most recorded in the game. Collector demand keeps prices high, with Fade near $1,500, and top Doppler phases pass $6,900. The finish list is deep, with 25 finish categories, including Doppler with seven variants and Gamma Doppler with five variants, so a budget exists at every level above $325.

Karambit Finishes and Patterns in CS2

Karambit finishes fall into three broad groups by appearance.

• Painted and pattern skins include Case Hardened, Fade, Slaughter, Crimson Web, Blue Steel, Stained, Night, Boreal Forest, Forest DDPAT, Safari Mesh, Urban Masked, Scorched, and Bright Water.

Case Hardened, Fade, Marble Fade, Doppler, and Gamma Doppler can have large price differences because of their pattern indexes or phases. Pattern-heavy finishes draw significant collector attention.

Karambit Skin Wear Levels and Float Values

Every Karambit skin has a float value, and that value decides its wear level, how clean the finish looks, and how much the knife costs. The float runs from 0.00 to 1.00 and sets one of five wear levels. Not every finish exists in every level, and two Karambits in the same wear level can still look different, because corner wear and an exact float change both the look and the price. Here is what each level means:

• Factory New (0.00–0.07): You won't see much wear on a Factory New Karambit. However, knives with lower floats and better-looking corners often sell for more. This condition is available for Fade and Doppler.


• Minimal Wear (0.07–0.15): Small scratches can appear along the edges. Some finishes cost less than Factory New, although certain rare patterns remain expensive.


• Field-Tested (0.15–0.38): Scratches become more noticeable near the blade and tip. Case Hardened and Crimson Web are available in this condition, often at lower prices.


• Well-Worn (0.38–0.45): Wear becomes heavier across the blade. Rust Coat starts at a 0.40 float and develops a rusty appearance.


• Battle-Scarred (0.45–1.00): Heavy wear can cover the blade. Rust Coat and several camouflage finishes are available here, often at lower prices.

StatTrak Karambit Skins

StatTrak Karambit versions are available for the finishes that support them. The counter tracks qualifying kills and displays the total on the knife. StatTrak adds a clear markup: Fade Factory New rises from about $1,486 to $1,577, Gamma Doppler Minimal Wear from $1,699 to $2,060, and Case Hardened Factory New from $1,461 to $3,600. 

What Affects CS2 Karambit Prices?

Karambit prices vary by finish, wear condition, and pattern. Here are the main factors that affect their value:

• Finish type: Gem phases and gradients usually outprice camouflage skins.


• Pattern index: Case Hardened, Fade, and Marble Fade Pattern index key. Doppler prices are also phase-dependent.


• Float and condition: Factory New often costs more, although the price difference varies by finish and float.


• StatTrak status: Can affect prices, but StatTrak versions aren't always more expensive.


• Case supply: Older and retired cases affect availability, while trade-up contracts also influence knife supply.


• Collector demand: Varies by finish.


• Marketplace: Steam Market and third-party platforms price differently

Karambit prices can vary between marketplaces, so use the compare CS2 (CS:GO) skin tool to check current offers before you buy.

How to Choose the Best Karambit

Start with your budget: camouflage finishes cost $325 to $360, finishes like Rust Coat and Freehand run about $390 to $420, gradients are $900 to $1,500, and gem phases are above $4,000. Field-Tested often looks close to Minimal Wear at a lower price. For Case Hardened, Fade, and Doppler, research the pattern index. 

Decide if StatTrak is worth the markup, and match the knife to your goal: personal use, display, long-term collecting, or trading. Before you set a budget, check your current inventory with the CS2 (CS:GO) inventory value checker.
