What Types of Karambits Exist in CS2 (CS:GO)?

When we talk about Karambits, we are talking about a vast universe of different knives, and here you have a complete list:

  • Marble Fade
  • Fade
  • Autotronic
  • Lore
  • Gamma Doppler
  • Slaughter
  • Black Laminate
  • Doppler
  • Tiger Tooth
  • Boreal Forest
  • Night
  • Vanilla
  • Damascus Steel
  • Case Hardened
  • Blue Steel
  • Stained
  • Freehand
  • Bright Water
  • Ultraviolet
  • Scorched
  • Rust Coat
  • Forest DDPAT
  • Urban Masked
  • Safari Mesh

Now that you are aware of all the Karambit skins you can win in CS2, you can explore and compare them, so you can decide which one you’d like to get as a drop from case opening, or which one you’d like to buy from the Steam Marketplace or your favorite CS2 trading site.

Is Case Opening Worth It If You Want to Get a Karambit?

If you came here because you wanted to know what cases contain Karambits so you can invest your money into unlocking them, we encourage you to consider the following facts:

  • The chances of winning a Karambit from any of the 16 cases that contain them is lower than 0.10%, as a result you’ll have to open the same cases hundreds of times to stand a chance at winning a Karambit knife
  • Unless you’re aiming at winning an extremely rare Karambit such as a Karambit Blue Gem, you’re better off purchasing it directly from a marketplace – because the price and risk of opening cases might not be worth it
  • Regardless of how much money you spend on opening any of the 16 CS2 cases containing Karambits, there are no guarantees you’ll ever get a Karambit knife. This is how CS2 case opening works, and you should be aware of this before investing your money in it
  • Even though it’s possible to get some CS2 Karambit cases via the Weekly Prime Drop, the chances are just 1%, and you can claim this package only once per week, making it an extremely unreliable way of getting cases to open and win a Karambit knife with a Prime Status.

Now that it’s all clear, and you know what case opening is really about, you can make the best decision. If you can afford to lose money, and you’re aiming at dropping an exceptionally rare Karambit, case opening can be worth it. 

On the other hand, if the Karambit you want is not extremely rare, and you can find it at a decent price on an online marketplace, buying it directly might be the best option.
