Top 5 Rarest Knife Skins in CS2

What is the rarest skin type in CS2? If your answer was “a knife”, you’re correct, as some of their prices reach over a hundred thousand dollars. This page will present you with this rare skin, alongside revealing its four follow-ups!

Karambit | Case Hardened ($1,500,000)

Players who collect CS2 knives are well aware of this item. Karambit | Case Hardened has been in the games since 2013, becoming one of the rarest drops from the eSports case.

The item has peculiar visuals. They start with a knife’s form factor, which resembles a sharp fang. Its handle is painted in black. The paint has been sprayed on metallic parts of the knife, turning them into a chaotic blue, yellow, and red gradient (it reminds of a fuel spot).

The gradient layout is altered with a pattern index change. With an index #387, its entire blade becomes light blue, which creates the skin’s name, Blue Gem. The thing is, Karambit | Case Hardened has 998 pattern indexes. Therefore, to receive a beautiful Blue Gem, you must get lucky to unbox the skin itself, and then you must roll 387 pattern index out of 998.

Talon Knife | Case Hardened ($50,000)

Released in 2018, Talon Knife has quickly become a desired item among all CS players. It’s similar to Karambit. It also has a fang-like form, but it’s slightly longer and bent in several places.

Under the spotlight, we have a case-hardened pattern once more. To get the rarest version of it, you must receive a #55 index on the knife, which paints its entire blade in light blue. Talon Knife | Case Hardened is expensive for the same reason as Karambit | Case Hardened.

Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Emerald ($18,600)

Finally, Case Hardened knives have ended. The third item on our list is a Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Emerald, which was released in 2019.

A weapon is almost entirely adorned in green colors. Its more vivid shade resides on the blade, having stylized patinas above it in darker green. The handle is primarily metallic. However, it has several dark green rubber overlays that resonate with a blade.

Why is Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Emerald so expensive? Due to how rarely it drops. It’s the rarest item inside the Dreams & Nightmares Case and Operation Riptide Case, which is quite a modest box pool. To get the rarest version of the skin, you must catch a Factory New wear.

Butterfly Knife | Doppler Sapphire ($17,000)

If you don’t like green, you might like a purple version of the previous skin. Butterfly Knife | Doppler Sapphire provides it. It’s very similar to Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Emerald, except it paints your knife in purple.

The color is present on the knife’s blade and rubber segments on the handle. However, those segments are rather blue than purple. It creates a quite interesting flow, which enhances the item’s price.

You can get Butterfly Knife | Doppler Sapphire from Spectrum and Spectrum 2 cases. They have been present in the game since 2017. Even though a skin can drop with various pattern indexes, they don’t change a knife’s price.

M9 Bayonet | Doppler ($10,000)

For those who like more strict knife types, we have an M9 Bayonet on our list. We’re looking at the M9 Bayonet | Doppler, which drops solely from Chroma cases.

The skin doesn’t touch a handle. However, the entire blade (including a hand guard) is painted black, purple, and red, with translucent waves on top of the colors.

The color placement on the blade changes. The rarest variation occurs with a #417 pattern index, where the entire blade is dark with a radial red sparkle.
