★ Karambit | Night (Battle-Scarred)

★ Karambit | Night in Battle-Scarred (BS) is the most worn stretch of this finish's scale. The skin's float is capped at 0.80, so the wear covers 0.45 to 0.80 rather than 0.45 to 1.00, as on many knives. The karambit's rank is Covert, and the name carries the ★ mark.

What the ★ Karambit | Night looks like in Battle-Scarred

The blade is dark and blue-gray, like slate, with no shine and no pattern. The handle is black, and the side inserts and the finger ring carry the same muted blue-gray.

Wear is at its highest in this tier, so the paint has the most scuffs. It is fixed at the moment of drop, and the item does not change afterward.

What to check before buying

Before paying for a ★ Karambit | Night, look at these things:

• Float: the band here runs from 0.45 to 0.80, and the look differs at the two ends of it.


• Name tag: a knife can take one, but the karambit has no sticker slots.


• StatTrak: the Night karambit has this version, sold as a separate item.

Phase and pattern

There is no "rare" pattern to hunt for on the ★ Karambit | Night: every copy carries the same artwork, with a solid fill. Listings differ only in wear.

What the ★ Karambit | Night costs in Battle-Scarred

The price steps run like this. Factory New costs 4.39 times as much as Battle-Scarred, Minimal Wear 1.40 times, and Field-Tested and Well-Worn 1.05 times each.

Among Covert-rank karambits in this wear, the finish sits in the lower third of a ladder of 18: five cost less, twelve cost more. Next to it are Stained, Bright Water, Ultraviolet and Rust Coat, each a few percent dearer, while Scorched is cheaper by an eighth. The top of the ladder is Damascus Steel, Blue Steel and Autotronic, at 1.5 to 1.7 times the price.

Getting the ★ Karambit | Night

This karambit finish drops from several cases, among them the CS:GO Weapon Case. A copy's float is decided when its case is opened.

The CS2 trade-up works differently from a case, and the ★ Karambit | Night cannot be ordered through it. Five Covert-rank skins of one type (all regular or all StatTrak) trade for a rare special item, not for the ★ Karambit | Night. The outcome is random, and the ★ Karambit | Night is not assigned in advance.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the ★ Karambit | Night exists.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred is a sensible choice for the ★ Karambit | Night if:

• you want a dark karambit with no colored accents and do not care about clean paint;


• the finish's low price among its wears matters more than float: Factory New costs several times as much;


• you are fine with the same artwork on every copy and compare listings by float number.
