★ Karambit | Case Hardened (Battle-Scarred)

This is the ★ Karambit | Case Hardened in Battle-Scarred (BS), and it is the widest of the five wears by float: the band runs from 0.45 to 1.00. It has the Covert rank and the ★ mark. This CS2 karambit with colorful hardening on the blade comes from eleven cases, among them the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Revolver Case.

What the ★ Karambit | Case Hardened looks like in Battle-Scarred

The blade shimmers blue, golden and lilac with white flashes across the flat, and a golden note reaches the finger ring too. The handle is dark gray and ribbed, with deep finger grooves. Valve writes of steel hardened in charcoal at high temperature, which explains the patches of color.

The wear is fixed at drop and never changes. In Battle-Scarred it is the heaviest of the five, and the scuffs on the blade show the most.

What to check before buying
