★ Karambit | Stained

★ Karambit | Stained is a Rare Special knife from the CS:GO Weapon Case 2. It belongs to the rare special pool, which contains the most valuable drops in any weapon case.

The Karambit is a curved blade inspired by the Southeast Asian martial art of silat. Its signature inspect animation spins the knife around the player's index finger through the ring hole. One of the original knife models, it's consistently among the most expensive — the Case Hardened Blue Gem pattern #387 is valued at over $1.5 million.

★ Karambit | Stained has a float range of 0.00 to 1.00 and is available in 5 wear conditions. In CS2, the float value is permanent — set at drop time and unchangeable. It controls how scratched or clean a skin looks within its wear tier. Extreme floats carry significant premiums: 0.00x copies are prized for their clean look, while 0.999x Battle-Scarred copies like the iconic AWP Asiimov "Blackiimov" are collector's items. Some skins are float-capped and cannot exist in certain wear conditions.

A StatTrak version of this skin is available. StatTrak technology uses an LED counter built into the weapon model that tracks confirmed kills in official matches. StatTrak skins have roughly a 10% chance to drop from each case opening and typically command higher prices than their normal counterparts. Note that the kill counter resets to zero when the skin is traded between players.

Prices shown are sourced from Steam Community Market and CSFloat, updated every 6 hours. Additional data from Skinport, Buff163, and YouPin. The Steam Community Market charges 15% total fees (5% Steam fee + 10% CS2 game fee), while third-party sites offer lower rates — CSFloat at 2%, Buff163 at 2.5%, and Skinport around 8% — with real-money cashout options. Beyond wear and float, the pattern index (seed 1–999) also affects price for certain finishes like Case Hardened and Fade, where specific patterns can multiply value many times over.
