The Stream marketplace has countless cosmetic items but most of them sell for a few pennies. However, the listing has a few knife skins that are more expensive than some real-life properties.
The rarity level of a knife skin directly influences its price tag. As a result, most CSGO enthusiasts collect cosmetic items to trade them at a better price. This article outlines some overpriced knife skins in the CSGO marketplace.
Karambit Case Hardened ($1.4 million)
Currently, the Karambit Case Hardened remains the priciest knife skin in CSGO. The Blue Gem is a colorful knife with a curved blade. In Factory New status, the cosmetic item costs over $1.4 million. Although it doesn’t have any special features, its price tag is high since it is a very rare knife.
Karambit | Doppler Sapphire ($15,128)
Released in 2015, the Karambit Doppler Sapphire features a curved blade with metallic paint. It also has a well-designed handle for better grip. Since its debut, its price has skyrocketed tremendously, and you can get it for about $15,128 on the marketplace.
M9 Bayonet | Lore ($2,600)
Valve added the M9 Bayonet Lore to CSGO in June 2016. Since then, the skin’s price has been increasing steadily. A StatTrak version of the skin costs about $2,600 if it is clean (Factory New). However, battle-hardened versions might be 35% cheaper on the Stream market.
Karambit | Crimson Web ($1,800)
Released in 2013, the Karambit Crimson Web features a black spiderweb on its rare, curved blade. Its handle has deep grooves that improve grip during hand-to-hand combat. Besides, its blade has a sharp edge and a pointed tip that can seriously injure your enemy.
At the Stream marketplace, this rare knife costs around $1,800 so it’s important to know how to maximize its use. However, the value of the skin keeps increasing since it is in high demand.
Butterfly Knife Tiger Tooth – $1,650
With a Stream marketplace value of $1,650, the Tiger Tooth is among the most expensive Butterfly knives. You can find the cosmetic item in two cases – the Spectrum 2 and the Spectrum cases. Most gamblers predict that the item might get overpriced in the future. So, if you have it in your collection, keep it in Factory New mode to get the best value.
Stiletto Knife | Crimson Web ($1,600)
The Stiletto knife first appeared in 2018 during the New Horizon update. Unlike other knives, it features a slim blade which is perfect for stealth attacks. It also has a red coat with spider web markings that improve its appearance. However, the skin is pricy, and you might spend at least $1,600 to add it to your collections.
M9 Bayonet | Crimson Web ($1,500)
Valve added the M9 Bayonet Crimson Web to CSGO in 2013 during The Arms Deal update. The skin features a black handle and a red blade with spider-web markings. It has a shiny appearance due to its semi-gloss layer. Its current price is about $1,500 apiece.
Butterfly Knife | Marble Fade ($1,400)
Released in 2017, the Butterfly Knife Marble Fade is one of the knife skins with a StatTrak feature. The item is extremely rare and a Factory New one goes for about $1,400. However, a battle-scarred knife might be slightly cheaper on the Stream listings.
M9 Bayonet | Gamma Doppler ($900)
The marbleized skin was released in the Gamma Exposure update. Its blade features a smoky marble look with a black handle. The knife was originally built to be mounted on a gun but players use it for different purposes. At the moment, the skin costs about $900 on the marketplace.
M9 Bayonet | Night ($847)
The M9 Bayonet Night sells for about $847. It features a sleek design with a deep blue coating. Therefore, it is easy to conceal in dark environments, making it ideal for close-quarter fights.
Bayonet | Slaughter ($629)
The current value of a Factory New Bayonet Slaughter is around $629. Its handle has aluminum paint while the blade has a red coating with dark patterns. Like many knives that were released in the Arms Deal update, Slaughter’s value keeps increasing each year.
M9 Bayonet | Doppler ($500)
The M9 Bayonet Doppler is a colorful knife with a slick coating. It features a dark handle and a sharp blade with a few markings. Its current price on Stream listings is around $500.
Conclusion
The value of some rare knife skins keeps skyrocketing each year and the most expensive ones are challenging to obtain. However, the Karambit Case Hardened is the most valuable knife in the marketplace with a value of over $1.5 million. If you can’t afford it, you can go for other alternatives worth $500 or more.
