- Karambit Case Hardened (Well-Worn) (Blue Gem) Pattern #337 (Extremely rare pattern number that makes it more “blue.” We estimate that there are only around 80 ‘known’ in the game.
Luksusbums listed his AK-47 for sale at the end of 2022, with an asking price of $400,000. However, due to the price rise in conjunction with the impending release of Counter-Strike 2 and the addition of Karambit to the offer, the total amount increased by 30%.
