Karambit

★ Karambit is a CS2 knife with a bright silver hooked blade and a dark charcoal handle. Fine grip texture, deep finger grooves, and a circular ring define its shape. Its restrained metal-and-charcoal look suits players who prefer minimal decoration. Standard and StatTrak™ versions are available.

Description

The ★ Karambit combines a curved knife profile with a plain metallic appearance in CS2. Its design emphasizes the weapon's shape rather than a colorful painted motif. A darker gray band follows the upper blade edge, contrasting with the bright silver face. Small yellow lettering and a white emblem add restrained detail near the blade's base. The textured handle provides a visual contrast to the reflective blade. The knife is typically held in reverse grip, with the circular ring around the index finger. Its understated palette suits loadouts built around exposed metal, dark grips, and limited decoration. Buyers can compare standard and StatTrak versions without treating that distinction as a cosmetic wear grade.

History and Origin

★ Karambit's acquisition history is tied to weapon cases, although its exact release date is unconfirmed. CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Bravo Case, CS:GO Weapon Case 2, and CS:GO Weapon Case 3 were first sold on September 20, 2013. First sales began December 18, 2013 for Winter Offensive Weapon Case and February 19, 2014 for Operation Phoenix Weapon Case. eSports 2013 Case, eSports 2013 Winter Case, and eSports 2014 Summer Case were first sold on July 9, 2014. Operation Vanguard Weapon Case was first sold on November 5, 2014, and Revolver Case on November 30, 2015. The designer is unknown, and a named collection affiliation is unconfirmed. The weapon's shape draws on its origins in Southeast Asian silat, with a blade curve resembling a tiger's claw. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, ending new drops for all of its source cases. Existing cases can still be bought and opened, while finished knives remain obtainable through marketplace purchases and player trades.

Finish Style

Bright silver covers the broad blade face, emphasizing its hooked profile. A darker gray band traces the upper edge rather than covering the entire blade. Pale streaks interrupt the otherwise plain silver surface. Mottled reflections give the metal visual variation without forming a large decorative pattern. Near the blade's base, small yellow lettering accompanies a white emblem. The charcoal handle has fine textured panels, deep finger grooves, and ridges along its outer edge. A large circular finger ring completes the handle's silhouette. Overall, the finish stays restrained, letting the blade shape and contrasting handle carry the design instead of extensive artwork.

Float Value

No exact float range is confirmed for ★ Karambit. Named exterior availability is also unconfirmed, so buyers should not assume that listings offer particular wear tiers. Standard and StatTrak versions are available, and version choice is separate from cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Karambit belongs to the Covert rarity grade. It can be obtained from its eligible weapon cases, but an exact probability for this specific knife is unconfirmed. Those cases no longer drop, although existing cases can still be opened and completed knives can still be traded.

Why it’s Popular:

• Hooked silver blade creates a distinctive silhouette

• Dark textured handle contrasts with bright metal

• Minimal decoration suits understated loadouts

• Standard and StatTrak versions offer different ownership options

Price Range

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Weapon Case

Open an eligible case, such as CS:GO Weapon Case, Operation Bravo Case, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, or Revolver Case, for a chance at ★ Karambit. Its source cases no longer drop, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. Opening a case does not assure this particular knife, and its exact probability is unconfirmed.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy an existing ★ Karambit listing on the Steam Community Market to choose the item directly rather than rely on a case opening. Check whether the listing is standard or StatTrak, then compare its asking price with matching offers.

4. Trade with Other Players

★ Karambit can also be obtained through player-to-player trades involving an existing knife. Confirm the exact item and its standard or StatTrak version before agreeing on an exchange, rather than treating every copy as interchangeable.

Trading and Investment Considerations

All of its source cases have stopped dropping, limiting fresh case supply without preventing existing cases from producing more knives. The item has a high purchase cost, while demand trends, listing depth, and resale speed remain uncertain. Before deciding to buy, sell, or trade, compare standard and StatTrak listings separately and check the current terms of each offer.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired source cases limit fresh case supply

• Distinctive hooked blade and circular finger ring

• Standard and StatTrak versions offer buyer choice

• Restrained silver-and-charcoal styling suits understated loadouts

The editorial investment rating for ★ Karambit is medium. Retired source cases provide a supportive supply factor, but a high purchase price alone does not demonstrate future appreciation. Existing cases can still produce knives, and uncertain demand leaves buyers exposed to price changes.
