Interesting Fact | The most expensive CSGO knife and the game skin. Some experts think it's also the most valuable in-game item in the history of the gaming industry. |
Year Added | 2013 |
The high price of the knife is due to the rarity of its properties. First of all, the Karambit Case Hardened is a Factory New item. Such knife skins have practically no disadvantages. They look like brand new weapons that have never been used
The next important property of the knife skin is the minimum wear rating. It's also called the float value. This characteristic ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. The closer the value is to 0, the higher the price of the item. For the Blue Gem it's just 0.0480.
Another important feature of the knife is the rare pattern template. Each skin in CSGO is assigned a so-called pattern number (1-999). The Karambit Case Hardened’s number is 387. That's why its blade is almost completely blue. Hence the name: Blue Gem.
As for the Case Hardened, this is a real life technology. Here's its brief description. A metal product (for example, a knife) is immersed in a container with special chemicals and exposed to high temperatures. As a result, a thin protective layer appears on the workpiece surface.
This layer becomes a kind of case that protects the metal from damage. Naturally, a knife, machine gun or other weapons from CSGO don’t need additional protection. However, imitating existing industrial technologies gives the knife skins a more realistic look.
The combination of these properties makes the Karambit Case Hardened one of the rarest knives out there. Some gamers say that the probability of getting this knife after opening a case is 1:370 000 000. It's easier to fly to Mars 3 times and come back than to get this skin!
