Karambit with the Surface Hardening skin with color pattern 387 and wear equal to 0.048082963 is the most expensive knife in CS GO today. Another indicator that ensures the exceptional uniqueness of this knife is the extremely low probability of it being knocked out of the case, namely: 1 in 1,371,000.
If you try to get this karambit through cases with an average case price of $2, then you will most likely have to spend $2,742,000. This price is much higher than its market value, which I will discuss later.
There is now only one copy of this knife in the world; it belongs to a person with the nickname Newb Rage. The real name, of course, is unknown. He became the owner of the most expensive knife in CS GO in 2016, paying $100,000 for it.
What is it valued at now?
Weapons experts at Counter Strike, including ohnePixel, valued the knife at around $800,000 in August 2021. At today's exchange rate in rubles, this will be about 48,000,000 rubles. Experts noted the following factors influencing pricing:
-
Very rare shade of color.
-
Factory Direct quality.
-
Extremely low wear.
-
A popular type of knife is karambit.
-
Extremely low probability of getting from an open case.
Collectively, this gives a crazy price for this skin.
However, this price tag does not confuse potential buyers. The owner of the knife, Newb Rage, was approached by a potential buyer in September 2021 with an offer of $1,200,000 for the most expensive knife in CS GO. But Newb Rage refused the deal, citing the fact that the price was not high enough, and he would like $1,500,000 for the karambit. The buyer did not agree to one and a half million, and the deal did not take place. The general public became aware of the details from the words of ohnePixel, who acted as an intermediary.
If the deal had gone through, it would have been the largest in the history of the game. Currently, the maximum one-time transaction for the purchase of skins is $776,000.

Once again we'll be talking about the bluish tint karambit (Surface Hardened skin), only this time without the unique 387 pattern and not with as low wear as the $1,200,000 karambit. This variant of Surface Hardening is called Blue Gem, since on its front side most of the area is occupied by pure blue color (karambits, where the blue color covers at least half of the blade area, are highly valued).

The only thing we can assume is that one of the parties or both parties to the transaction are Chinese, because the exchange took place on the Chinese Buff exchange. According to the contract, the price for karambit was $120,000. On the day of sale it was approximately 8,700,000 - 8,800,000 rubles. at the then current exchange rate.
What is the most expensive CS GO knife currently on sale
Let me clarify right away: the situation on skin exchanges changes almost every minute, and the skin that will be written about here will probably be outbid by another blade in an hour, which, in turn, will become the most expensive knife in CS GO on the exchange.
In addition, the average price of luxury coloring for knives sold on the stock exchange is from 300,000 to 700,000 rubles. More expensive copies are extremely rare. The reason is that kaesers who enter into deals for skins worth several million rubles will not conduct them through the exchange, no matter how reliable and cool it may be. Super-large sales are made at offline meetings or with the involvement of intermediaries and guarantors. This means that the karambit, which was written about above, is unlikely to be put on the stock exchange at all, much less sold through it.
So, the most expensive knife in CS GO on sale at the time of writing this post is a butterfly knife with the “Waves” skin. as "Factory New" and a price tag of 460,000 rubles. The main feature of the blade is the blade, painted red with a ruby tint.

And again we will talk about karambit. Actually, only karambit and a butterfly knife can challenge each other for the title of the most expensive knife in CS GO.
Karambit stands out due to its cool appearance: it is originally an Asian knife, made in the likeness of a tiger fang, for practicing the martial art of silat. In addition, gamers like how CS GO characters hold the knife with a reverse grip. It looks impressive and unusual.
