The Counter-Strike 2 Karambit is by far the most in-demand knife type in the game. Every player opens CS2 cases in the hope of nabbing a Karambit, and this can make them extremely expensive. Here, we’re taking a look at the best Karambit skins in CS2, ranking from the bottom upwards.
Ugh. Anything Safari Mesh, and I’m out. Yes, that even applies to the Karambit knife. There’s no saving this one, but hey, at least it’s the cheapest Karambit in CS2. Only go for this one if you’re really desperate to see those iconic Karambit CS2 animations on a regular basis.
The Karambit Rust Coat is basically the default skin, but rusty. Personally, I don’t feel like it’s very appealing, but you do you. It just looks a little bit dirty, which I guess is the point? It doesn’t come close to the best Karambit skins in CS2, though.
The Default Counter-Strike Karambit is clean, but it isn’t very exciting. Still, it’s a good entry point and among the cheapest Karambit knives in CS2. If you’re looking to keep things really classic, it’s hard to go too wrong here. I still can’t bring myself to rank it any higher among the best Karambit skins.
This one is totally down to personal preference, as no doubt some people will love the Forest DDPAT Counter-Strike Karambit. I just think it’s a bit muddy. Any DDPAT pattern is a little uninspired in my opinion, and that even extends to Karambit skins.
My feelings on the Boreal Forest are very similar to the Forest DDPAT, and not much separates the two. For me, it’s one of the worst Counter-Strike Karambit skins. This could still be a fine choice for any player looking for a green CS2 Karambit without wanting to spend the big bucks on an Emerald.
The Karambit Bright Water is just the Boreal Forest, but blue. And yeah, it is slightly nicer, but the overall pattern just isn’t it. For my money, it’s not one of the best Karambit skins in CS2, but you might feel differently. 20th is all it reaches in my personal CS2 Karambit rankings.
I’m pretty neutral on the Urban Masked Counter-Strike Karambit skin. The colors don’t do much to excite, do they? It’s just hard to really feel anything about this Karambit skin – it’s not the best or the worst. It’s just… meh.
The Karambit Scorched has a simplicity that I quite enjoy. It looks good in any lighting in-game, which is a big thing in its favor.
Simple, but with a small splash of color. That’s how you’d describe the Ultraviolet CS2 Karambit skin. Not my first choice, but it’s not bad by any means. If you’re looking for something that’s almost like the default but with a bit of pizazz, this could be the best Karambit skin you’re looking for.
I wouldn’t necessarily reach for the Karambit Stained, but I can definitely see why someone would really like this particular Counter-Strike Karambit skin. At lower wear ratings, it’s almost among the cheapest Karambits in CS2, so that’s a point in its favor.
The details in the Karambit Damascus Steel are great. It’s a subtle design, but a big winner in my book. If you’re of the opinion that “less is more” when it comes to some of the best Karambit skins in CS2, then the Damascus Steel is a must-have for your inventory. You won’t see this one too often on the server.
The Karambit Black Laminate rocks because of its epic handle alone. It’s probably the most interesting handle design of any Counter-Strike Karambit skin, actually. It climbs the rankings of the best Karambit skins in CS2 purely on this factor.
For some, the Karambit Blue Steel might be too boring. However, as with some of the other entries on this list, I can appreciate a CS2 knife that keeps it simple. You don’t always need to be flashy to have style!
The Karambit Freehand is pretty jazzy. Some will definitely find its design to be “too much,” but I don’t mind it. The pattern of the Freehand could even be the most unique knife design in the game, truly living up to its name with its wild aesthetic. Not for everyone, sure, but it’s certainly for me.
The Slaughter Karambit CS2 knife stands out with its bold red color scheme. This is one that looks particularly great in-game as opposed to just inspecting it. Of all the red Karambit skins in CS2, this one is by far the cheapest when bought in Factory New, which wins it a ton of points in its favor.
Karambit Night is, in my opinion, the best of the toned-down CS2 knives. Simplicity is key once again. When ranking the best Karambit skins in CS2, it’s important to remember that it’s not always about how bright your knife shines!
The huge red highlight on the Karambit Autotronic is enough to catapult it right near the top of this list. By far one of the best Counter-Strike Karambits to buy. The red design isn’t all-encompassing, making it a little more classy than something like the Slaughter. Don’t sleep on one of the best Karambit skins in the Autotronic.
The intricate design of the Karambit Crimson Web makes it one of my favorite CS2 knives in the game. If you can afford it, add it to your collection. What really sets apart the Crimson Web in this list of the best Karambit skins is how it still looks awesome at a lower wear rating. Some would argue it even looks better in a lower float.
I love the boldness of the Karambit Tiger Tooth. While not the cheapest Karambit in CS2, I think the bold colors are more than worth the (admittedly large) investment. Its yellow color scheme sets it apart immediately as one of the best Karambit skins in CS2, and there’s just nothing quite like it.
If you can get a Karambit Case Hardened with plenty of blue, you’re onto a winner. While a blue gem might be out of reach, it’s still well worth having this Counter-Strike Karambit. You could even try to find one with as little blue as possible, as that can bring down the price of this one quite significantly. You’d be in the minority of trying to seek out this one, though.
In my opinion, the Karambit Marble Fade is super underrated. The variation in colors make it extremely unique, and with a good pattern, is easily among the best Counter-Strike Karambit skins. You should always try out the CS2 Karambit Marble Fade before you buy it, though. Each one can look so different from one another, so it’s just good to be aware of what exactly you’re getting for your money.
The Karambit Lore is extremely classy. With class, comes a massive pricetag, but that’s always the case with any Counter-Strike Karambit, so nothing really changes there. Expect to get plenty of compliments from your teammates if you bring this one into the server.
The Karambit Gamma Doppler comes in plenty of different patterns, all of which cost a very different amount. My favorite by far is the Emerald, but your opinion could be different on that. Regardless, it’s among the best Karambit skins in CS2. After all, I’m not here to show you the cheapest – just the very best.
It’s reductive to say the Karambit Doppler works so well because it’s so shiny, but it’s also kind of true. If you’re planning to buy a Counter-Strike Karambit Doppler, make sure you hunt around for a pattern you like. It’s the same story as with the Marble Fade – check these out in-game before you buy – you don’t want a nasty surprise when your item doesn’t look like you thought it would, especially given the mammoth investment.
The Karambit Fade is simple, elegant, and pretty expensive. You’ll definitely be the talk of the server if you bring one of these bad boys into a CS2 match. I reckon this is overall the best Karambit skin in CS2, but you’ll have to shell out a hefty fee to pick it up.
