Karambit knives in CS2 can rightfully be called legendary. Among the skins of this category will find many versions that are highly valued due to their uniqueness. Their value can reach tens of thousands of dollars, so although the chance of getting such a knife when opening a case is extremely small, some players continue to hope for luck. These are the categories of knives that are valued the most.
Karambit Doppler
There are quite a few skins in CS2 that have a pattern index that affects the coloring, but few where the difference is so noticeable. This parameter usually determines how exactly the texture will be overlaid on the 3D model of the weapon, with versions that have more interesting pattern elements in plain sight being valued more. Karambit Doppler knives have a much more significant distinction.
Variants of this knife are called «phases» and are distinguished by the predominant color. For example, Karambit Doppler Phase 1 is colored in shades of dark blue, and Doppler Phase 2 – in shades of dark red. Without knowing the details, you may think that these are two different skins – but in fact they differ only by the pattern index.
Among the skins of this category there are some more especially valuable variants, which cost even more than «phases». They are rare and are named after gemstones after the predominant color:
Karambit Doppler Sapphire (sapphire) – blue;
Karambit Doppler Ruby (ruby) – red;
Karambit Doppler Black Pearl – black.
Karambit Gamma Doppler
Gamma Doppler are similar in coloration to the above described variants, but fall out of other cases. While the Doppler knives can be obtained from the three Chroma series cases, the Gamma Doppler only drops from the Gamma and Gamma 2. Among them, several «phases», but a variant called Gamma Doppler Emerald is the strongest valued. For «emerald» with low float, collectors can pay more than ten thousand dollars.
Knives from other cases
The above described variants are considered the most expensive, but the variety of the Karambit skin does not end with them. It is also worth paying attention to the versions that fall out of old cases that came out in the early years of the game, such as the eSports and Weapon Case series. The most expensive «loot», you can get from them – knives with the patterns Crimson Web, Case Hardened and Fade. In all three cases, the pattern-index can strongly influence the price.
Previously we have mentioned mainly knives painted in bright colors, but more minimalistic coloring is also of interest to collectors. Plus, you don't have to shell out a fortune to buy them. Popular among players, for example, are options such as Urban Masked or Blue Steel. Some may also like the protective light colors, such as Boreal Forest or Safari Mesh. It is not surprising that such designs are found in old cases, because at first developers preferred more realistic colors.
In total there are more than thirty different colors for Karambit in CS2 now, if you count the phases as separate skins. Not all of them are as expensive as the rarities listed above – there are other notable designs found in the same Chroma Case and Gamma Case. If you decided not to rely on luck when opening cases and are ready to invest in replenishing your collection, in the catalog of Lis-Skins.ru you will find various varieties of this unique knife, including Fade and different phases of «doppler».
