★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Damascus Steel (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Karambit | Damascus Steel 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. It can be unboxed from the Chroma Case. The Damascus Steel finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance, and supply is inherently limited while demand remains high from collectors and players.

Battle-Scarred covers float values from 0.44 to 1.00 on the CS2 wear scale. This skin's own floats run 0.00-0.50, so its Battle-Scarred copies sit between 0.44 and 0.50. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Battle-Scarred copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.

Right now the Battle-Scarred is quoted at about $866.98 and the Well-Worn at about $807.24, so the Battle-Scarred costs 7% more. How much of that gap is worth paying depends on the finish: wear shows first on edges and raised areas, so on some designs the cleaner wear is hard to tell apart in game. Switch wears above to compare the two side by side.

Prices for the ★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Damascus Steel (Battle-Scarred) vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition.
