Karambit | Case Hardened appeared in CS:GO on August 14, 2013, in “The Arms Deal” update. The skin is contained in cases released from 2013 to 2015.

The skin is remarkable for its pattern of multicolored stains on the blade and the safety ring formed by the case-hardening process. The handle is the standard black color.

The pattern index determines the color, shape, and location of the stains, on which depends the rarity of the skin and its price. The rarest and most valuable are the versions with the maximum possible number of blue areas on the play side of the blade – “Blue Gem.” Also rare are pattern indices where the percentage of blue on the playing side reaches 50-70%. Less valuable are patterns of yellow color or with a small percentage of blue (up to 30%).

Float Value of Karambit | Case Hardened can vary between 0.00 and 1.00, making the skin obtainable in any exterior quality category. Wear doesn’t result in abrasions, but at high float values, the blade darkens.

Karambit | Case Hardened belongs to the “Covert” rarity grade and is available with the StatTrak kill counter. The skin is popular among CS:GO players.
