★ Karambit | Black Laminate (Well-Worn)

The ★ Karambit | Black Laminate in Well-Worn (WW) is a Covert rank karambit on a tight float band of 0.38 to 0.45, only 7 percent of the finish's scale. The CS2 knife, with the ★ mark, drops from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case.

What the ★ Karambit | Black Laminate looks like in Well-Worn

The blade here is dark and in places mottled: gray washed metal with matte silver patches. The handle is layered, with beige-gray laminate scales and black-green inserts in the rests. Around the ring and under it the metal is dark and even.

You can buy the ★ Karambit | Black Laminate with a float from 0.38 to 0.45. The wear is fixed at the moment of the drop, and knives at the two ends of the band differ little by eye. The band is tight, so a difference between listings is hard to catch.

Phase and pattern

The artwork on the ★ Karambit | Black Laminate does not vary, so pattern takes no part in the choice. That leaves float and name tag.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn on the ★ Karambit | Black Laminate is worth it for three reasons:

• the price is close to Battle-Scarred, while the float is cleaner, with a ceiling of 0.45;


• a gray washed blade and light laminate suit a CS2 loadout without bright colors;


• deep scuffing is acceptable, but you do not want the most worn option.
