The Most Expensive CS:GO Knife Skins in History [2024 Rankings]

The most expensive CSGO knife is the Case Hardened Karambit with a rare "Blue Gem" pattern, which sold for $1.4 million in 2023. This particular skin features an extremely rare pattern ID #387, making it one of the most sought-after items in CSGO's history.

What makes this knife so valuable is its unique blue coloring that covers most of the blade, combined with its Factory New condition and StatTrak™ feature. The pattern is so rare that it's often referred to as the "Scar Pattern" among collectors.

I should note that CSGO knife prices can fluctuate significantly, and private sales might exceed known public transactions. However, this particular Karambit sale is currently the highest verified transaction for a CSGO knife skin.

For context, the second most expensive CSGO knife was another Case Hardened pattern, the "#661 Blue Gem" M9 Bayonet, which sold for approximately $150,000. This massive price gap shows just how exceptional the Karambit sale was.

It's worth mentioning that these ultra-rare knives represent a tiny fraction of the CSGO knife market. Most high-tier knives typically sell for between $500 to $5,000, with common patterns and wear conditions being significantly cheaper.

The value of these knives is primarily determined by four factors:

  • Pattern rarity
  • Wear condition (Factory New being the best)
  • StatTrak™ availability
  • Market demand

Remember that investing in CSGO skins carries significant risks, and prices can change dramatically based on market conditions and game popularity.
