Top 15 Expensive CS:GO knife skins

Top 15 Expensive CS:GO knife skins

If you're lucky enough to obtain a knife in CS:GO, or even if you've seen someone do it on YouTube, you know how rare and joyous a moment it is. People often burst into tears or start screaming in joy, which is not surprising considering the chance to obtain a knife in CS:GO is 1 in 4000, or 0.025%. In other words, a knife is obtained once every 4000 case openings. However, it should be noted that even among knives, there are different categories. For instance, there are very affordable knives like the standard Navaja Knife. Today, though, we are going to discuss the most visually appealing and expensive CS:GO skins - the crème de la crème, skins that only a select few can acquire.

Skin 1: Karambit Doppler (Ruby)

We are going to kick off this list with a strong contender: the Karambit Doppler Ruby. In general, Karambit knives are attractive and quite expensive, but with the addition of different Doppler color phases, they look even better. The Ruby variant is one of the most visually appealing in the game. The skin was added to the game on 8th January 2015. The entire skin is covered in various shades of red, which create a beautiful gradient transition. In other words, the knife looks as if you've taken a piece of ruby (a very rare mineral) and attached it to a knife handle. Just one look and you're sure to fall in love with this skin. Unfortunately, it's really expensive; the Karambit Doppler (Ruby) ranges in price from $7000 to $14000.

Skin 2: Butterfly Knife Marble Fade

Butterfly Knives have the best animation in the game when you inspect the weapon (press F). This is not surprising, as this type of knife is widely used by experts to perform various tricks. The Butterfly Knife Marble Fade is the pinnacle of a very talented graphic artist's work. This skin blends blue, yellow, and red metallic colors together, transforming the weapon skin into a work of art. The skin was added to the game on March 15th, 2017, and it is one of the most beautiful skins in the game, yet it's much more affordable than the Karambit Doppler (Ruby). For the Butterfly Knife Marble Fade, you would have to pay between $2500 and $3500. Judging by its looks alone, it's definitely worth the price.

Skin 3: Karambit Case Hardened (Blue Gem)

It's impossible to compile a list of the most expensive and beautiful knife skins without mentioning the absolute best among them, the Karambit Case Hardened (Blue Gem). This skin, with pattern 387, is like a legend in the game. The chance to obtain this particular skin is 1 in 371 million, and its blue blade, resembling ocean water or a sapphire, looks stunning. In 2016, this skin was bought for over $100,000, and it's currently impossible to estimate its actual worth. However, the estimated price for this knife at this moment is about $1.5 million, so one would need to be a millionaire to buy it.

Skin 4: M9 Bayonet Lore

The first Bayonet skin we're presenting on this list is already an excellent one. Lore skins are very popular and beloved among CS:GO players. The M9 Bayonet Lore looks amazing and feels wonderful when you use it in the game. It is a gold-colored knife with a military green base. The skin is also adorned with interesting medieval patterns, which make it one of the most original and beautiful knife skins in the game. The M9 Bayonet Lore was added to the game on June 16th, 2016. This skin can be purchased for between $1000 and $5000 ($1000 for Battle-Scarred and $5000 for a Factory New version).

Skin 6: Bowie Knife Crimson Web

Another skin that we'd like to feature on this list is the Bowie Knife Crimson Web. In general, the Crimson Web pattern is one of the most popular knife skins in CS:GO. The most interesting feature of its design is the blade with a solid red coating and images of black spider webs on its surface (hence the name). The blade was added to the game on February 17th, 2016. If you want to impress both your teammates and enemies, then this knife is a good choice for you. This knife costs between $300 and $2000.

Skin 8: Karambit Doppler Sapphire

Perhaps unsurprisingly, we want to showcase another Karambit Doppler skin. Its dark blue color is its best feature. This Karambit was added to the game on January 8th, 2015. The blade of this skin appears as if it was made from sapphire stone, and according to fan opinions, it is one of the most beautiful skins in the game. It is also among the most expensive ones; the Karambit Doppler Sapphire costs between $9000 and $18000. If you ever manage to get your hands on one, consider yourself lucky.

Skin 9: Karambit Gamma Doppler Emerald

We're showcasing another Karambit Doppler skin - this time, the Karambit Gamma Doppler Emerald. This skin was added to the game on January 15th, 2016. Emerald is a gemstone, like Sapphire and Ruby already mentioned in this topic, and the name fits the knife perfectly. It is one of the most unique and beautiful skins you can find in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Unfortunately, like all Karambit skins, this one is also quite expensive, costing between $8500 and $17000.

Skin 10: Talon Knife Crimson Web

The first Talon Knife we're featuring on this list is the Talon Knife Crimson Web, which was introduced to the game on August 1st, 2018. The blade of the knife is painted red and has a black web pattern all over it, while the handle of the skin is painted black. Overall, the Talon Knife Crimson Web is a great-looking skin that many players adore. It is also quite expensive, with prices ranging from $600 (for a battle-scarred version) to $5000 (for a factory new skin). While it's not as expensive as some of the other skins presented on this list, it's still a considerable sum, enough to purchase a decent car.

Skin 11: M9 Bayonet Crimson Web

Another Crimson Web skin features on our list, this time for the M9 Bayonet. We've already described the Crimson Web design several times here, so there's no need to repeat. However, this particular design fits the M9 Bayonet perfectly. A superb skin, it was added to the game on August 14th, 2013. It's one of the finest skins you can acquire for the M9 Bayonet, with prices ranging from $600 (for a battle-scarred version) to $7000 (factory new).

Skin 12: Butterfly Knife Lore

It's challenging to find more beautiful knives in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive than butterfly knives. This time, we'd like to showcase the Butterfly Knife Lore. This skin was released on September 21st, 2014. The golden blade is the most compelling feature of this skin, which showcases Nordic patterns inscribed on the base of the blade. It's a truly unique and original knife design that you'll never tire of inspecting. This knife costs between $1,500 (battle-scarred) and $10,000 (factory new).

Skin 13: Talon Knife Ultraviolet

Next, we present another Talon Knife - the Talon Knife Ultraviolet. It appears simplistic, but you're going to love its design. The black blade combined with a purple handle creates a stunning combination that elevates this knife to a work of art. The Talon Knife Ultraviolet was added to the game on March 13th, 2019. Despite being one of the more affordable skins on this list, it is by no means cheap. The Talon Knife Ultraviolet costs between $450 (for the battle-scarred version) and $1200 (for a factory new one). In other words, for a relatively modest amount of money, at least compared to other knives, you can own a truly good-looking weapon skin. What else could you need?

Skin 14: Butterfly Knife Fade

The Butterfly Knife Fade is widely considered to be the most beautiful butterfly skin in CS:GO, although you're welcome to form your own opinion. The Butterfly Knife Classic Fade was introduced to the game on July 1st, 2014. Typically, the price of Fade skins is largely determined by the Fade pattern percentage and the low float value. To be more specific, the full gradient is the most costly variant. However, the Butterfly Knife Fade is an intriguing skin that defies this rule. In this case, a lower amount of blue color is actually desirable. Consequently, the Fade with almost no blue color is quite expensive, costing around $6000.

Skin 15: Huntsman Knife Doppler Ruby

The final skin we're presenting on this list is the Huntsman Knife Doppler Ruby. It's the only Huntsman Knife skin we've included here, and it looks incredible. If you've ever watched such cult classics as Rambo and Predator, then you're likely to immediately recognize the knife itself. The Doppler Ruby skin fits it perfectly, as its red hue makes the knife appear as if it has been bathed in the blood of your adversaries. If you want to instill fear into the hearts of your competitors, then this is the knife for you. The Huntsman Knife Doppler Ruby was added to the game on March 15th, 2017. This skin is also quite expensive, with prices ranging from $1300 (for the minimal wear version) to $3500 (for a factory new one). However, it's undoubtedly worth the price.
