What's the difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear for the ★ Karambit | Doppler?
Factory New (FN) skins have float values between 0.00-0.07, showing minimal to no visible wear. Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading visible on close inspection. For the ★ Karambit | Doppler, the price difference between FN and MW can range from 10% to over 100% depending on how visible the wear is on this particular finish. Some finishes hide wear better than others, making MW versions excellent value alternatives.
Why is the ★ Karambit | Doppler so expensive?
The ★ Karambit | Doppler commands premium prices due to several factors: First, knife skins are the rarest drop category in CS2, with approximately 0.26% chance from case openings. Its Covert rarity means only about 0.64% of case openings yield this tier. Supply is inherently limited while demand remains consistently high from collectors and players. The finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance. Market prices reflect both scarcity and desirability within the CS2 trading community.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the ★ Karambit | Doppler?
Prices vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. The Steam Community Market is convenient but charges 15% fees.

Trading sites may offer even better deals if you have items to exchange.
Is the ★ Karambit | Doppler a good investment?
Investment potential depends on several factors. Knives and gloves historically hold value well due to consistent demand and limited supply. Covert rarity items tend to appreciate over time as cases are opened and supply gradually decreases. Key considerations: (1) Check the 30-day and 90-day price trends shown in the charts above; (2) Consider whether this skin is from an active or discontinued case; (3) Evaluate overall CS2 market conditions. Past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, but ★ Karambit | Doppler has maintained steady trading interest. Diversifying across multiple items typically reduces risk.
Can I use the ★ Karambit | Doppler in competitive CS2?
Yes, all weapon skins including the ★ Karambit | Doppler are purely cosmetic and can be used in all CS2 game modes including competitive matchmaking, Premier, and professional tournaments.
