The Karambit Ultraviolet is a curved fixed-blade knife favored for its distinctive animation. The Ultraviolet finish gives it a visual identity that stands out during inspect animations and in the buy menu. It was introduced in January 2015 as part of the Chroma Case. This skin can be found in 3 different cases, giving you multiple ways to unbox it.
Classified at Covert rarity, the Karambit Ultraviolet has the lowest standard drop rate in CS2 cases. Covert skins are the most sought-after standard drops, and this one is no exception.
The Karambit Ultraviolet is currently available in 5 wear conditions. Prices range from $424.88 for Battle-Scarred up to $1654.24 for Factory New. The spread between conditions reflects how much the visual appearance changes across float values.
Float values range from 0 to 1 — lower means fewer scratches and a cleaner look. For knives and gloves, even small float differences can significantly affect the pattern and visual appeal, which is why low-float versions command a premium.
Knives are among the most actively traded CS2 items. The Karambit Ultraviolet holds its value well due to scarcity, and float value plays a major role in final trade pricing.
The Karambit Ultraviolet can only drop as a rare special item when opening any of its 3 associated cases. The rare special item pool has roughly a 0.26% chance per opening — about 1 in 385 cases.
