Cutting Costs: Cheapest Karambit Knife Skins for Thrifty CS:GO Players

Many CS:GO players want to customize their gameplay experience with skins. Though the community defines the Steam market value behind them, some skins can reach thousands of dollars, such as the Karambit knife skins! Karambit knives aren’t the cheapest out there. But as with any skins, there are cheaper variants in its category. So here we’ll see the cheapest Karambit skins that CS:GO offers!

Safari Mesh Karambit

Starting off with the Karambit skins, we have the Safari Mesh Karambit knife that was released on the 14th of August, 2013. The design is a plain yellow color plastered on this curved blade mimicking a tiger’s claw or a fang. 

A Minimal Wear Safari Mesh Karambit knife currently costs around $514.11 USD. On the other hand, the Field-Tested version drops by a lot with a price range of around $423.92 USD. The other versions cost around the same as well. So the Safari Mesh will definitely serve you well if you’re only after expensive Karambit skins but don’t want a very colorful knife.

Forest DDPAT Karambit

Next up we have the Forest DDPAT Karambit skin that was added in CS:GO on the 14th of August, 2013. Here you’ll get a more colorful curved blade mimicking a design with an army coating. There’s also the handle with your usual finger ring, where you hold the knife in a reverse grip with the character’s index finger. 

For a Minimal Wear version, you can find the Forest DDPAT Karambit on the Steam market for around $538.28 USD. A Field-Tested version will cost you around $441.94 USD if you don’t want to throw lots of cash. And if you don’t mind the versions at all, the Battle-Scarred version can cost you around $418.69 USD.

Scorched Karambit

The Scorched Karambit knife skin was released in the game on the 14th of August 2013. And as the name suggests - the knife is scorched with black and yellow traces from the curved blade to the handle. 

The Scorched Karambit’s price can be around $474.53 USD for a Minimal Wear version. A Field-Tested version drops its price by a bit at around $420.75 USD. So if you’re only after the reverse grip holding that fang of the tiger’s claw without much eye to design, this skin will do you justice. But even these prices are outrageous for some players, even for Karambit skins. Though there are ways, you can get them for free.
