Karambit (Vanilla)

Karambit released December 8, 2015 as part of the Revolver Case.

It originally released during the CS:GO era, before Valve's Counter-Strike 2 relaunch in September 2023 — its artwork, wear range, and source carried over unchanged into CS2.

It launched as an Extraordinary-tier finish, with a StatTrak™ edition but no Souvenir version.

This exact finish is also obtained through 10 other sources.

Karambit is a curved, reverse-grip knife modeled after the Indonesian fighting blade of the same name, one of CS2's most recognizable knife shapes. This vanilla, no-finish version keeps the plain factory look, marked with the red rarity color every Extraordinary-tier item uses site-wide.

That Extraordinary classification places it in CS2's rarest tier overall — the same bracket every knife and glove finish occupies, one step above even Covert weapon skins.

This finish has no float-driven wear progression — it ships as a single fixed look regardless of float value, the same as every other vanilla (no-finish) knife or glove in CS2.

Because there's no wear range, this finish never shows scratches, edge wear, or pattern shifts the way a floated skin would.

Karambit comes from the Revolver Case — the Case is no longer part of the active drop pool, so trading and the Steam Community Market are the ways to acquire it today.

Valve's own published Case odds put an Extraordinary-tier pull like this one at roughly 1 in 25000 (0.0040%).

Alongside the Normal version, this finish also has a StatTrak™ edition that tracks confirmed kills — there's no Souvenir version.

Beyond that, there's no separate "phase" or pattern family tied to this finish in the site's data — it's tracked as a single fixed look across every wear condition it ships in.

Extraordinary-tier pulls like this one are inherently the rarest outcome of opening the Cases that contain them, which alone keeps demand — and market prices — meaningfully higher than the tiers below it.

Its StatTrak™ edition tends to trade at a premium over the Normal version, the same pattern seen across most CS2 skins with that variant available.

Karambit has been part of the Revolver Case since December 8, 2015, and like every CS:GO-era CS2 skin, carried over unchanged when Valve relaunched the game on the Source 2 engine in 2023 — the artwork, wear range, and source Case/Collection are the same today as they were before the migration.

This finish is one of 65 distinct Extraordinary finishes in the Revolver Case's rare-special drop pool.

This is one of 35 Karambit skins currently listed on the site, spanning multiple rarity tiers.
