Karambit | Lore
from $621 up to $628
Gold ornamental work over a dark blade, with the gold wearing away as the float rises. On higher floats it becomes a different skin entirely, so the wear choice matters more here than usual.
With its curved blade mimicking a tiger's claw, the karambit was developed as part of the southeast Asian martial discipline of silat. The knife is typically used with a reverse grip, with the finger ring on the index finger. It has been custom painted with knotwork.

- How much does Karambit | Lore cost?
- Karambit | Lore starts at about $621 and runs up to around $628 depending on wear. The cheapest wear is Well-Worn at $621, and Field-Tested is the most expensive at $628. Prices here are pulled from live market listings and refreshed daily, so treat them as a starting point rather than a fixed quote.
- What case is Karambit | Lore from?
- Karambit | Lore drops from Gamma Case and Gamma 2 Case. Opening for a specific skin is a bad bet at almost any odds, so buying it outright on the market is nearly always the cheaper route.
- Does Karambit | Lore have a StatTrak version?
- Yes. A StatTrak version of Karambit | Lore exists and counts your kills with the Karambit. StatTrak copies are a separate item on the market and normally trade above the plain version.
- Which wear should you buy for Karambit | Lore?
- Karambit | Lore exists between float 0 and 0.65, which is what decides the wear you can get. Here Field-Tested costs roughly 1x what Well-Worn does, so the question is whether the difference is visible from a first-person view. On darker and busier finishes it usually is not, and the cheaper wear does the same job in a loadout.
- Is Karambit | Lore good for a matching loadout?
- Karambit | Lore is a Covert Karambit finish, so the deciding factor is its palette rather than its tier. Pick the gloves first, then judge whether this skin sits in the same color family and has a similar finish, matte against matte or gloss against gloss.
