What CS2 Cases Have Karambits?

The Karambit is the most sought-after knife skin in Counter-Strike since the beginning of the game. It’s only natural that players are looking to open cases that have a chance of dropping a Karambit. 

Though almost all early cases released in the game have Karambits, most recent releases do not. If you are opening cases with the goal of a Karambit, it is essential to know what CSGO case has a Karambit inside it.

What CS2 Cases Have Karambits?

In total, 16 weapon cases have a chance of dropping Karambits. However, other knives are also in the case, such as the M9 Bayonet, Bayonet, Flip Knife, Gut Knife, and more. 

The Karambit skins dropped in these 16 cases can also differ. The first 11 cases will drop original Karambit skins that have been in the game since the beginning of CS:GO. The five most recent cases drop newer Karambit skins. 

Here is a list of which CSGO cases have Karambits and which skins they drop:

What Is The Best Case To Open Karambits?

Determining which cases to open for Karambits depends on what you’re looking for. Let’s analyze which cases you should look to open if you want the original Karambit skins or the newer ones.

For Original Karambit Skins

If you’re a big fan of the Fade, Case Hardened, or Crimson Web, the best option is to open older CS:GO cases. The best option is to open Revolver Cases, as they contain the original Karambit skins and are the cheapest cases, priced at $1.89. 

However, the remaining skins in the Revolver Case are incredibly underwhelming, so only open them if your single objective is to pull a Karambit.

In the Original Collections, the three highest-value Karambits are the Fade, Case Hardened, and Crimson Web. 

For Newer Karambit Skins

There are two groups of newer Karambit skins: the Chroma and Gamma Collections. 

If you are looking for Chroma Karambits, the best choice is to open Chroma 3 Cases, as it is the cheapest among the three, priced at $2.20. However, aside from knives, the Chroma 3 Case does not drop too many high-value items. 

In the Chroma Collection, the three highest-value Karambits are the Droppler, Tiger Tooth, and Marble Fade. 

For Gamma Karambits, I recommend unboxing Gamma Cases. The difference in price between the Gamma and Gamma 2 cases is only $0.10, but the Gamma Case generally drops better items than its successor. 

In the Gamma Collection, the three highest-value Karambits are the Lore, Autotronic, and Gamma Doppler.
