Керамбит | Вороненая сталь

Origin Story

The Karambit | Blue Steel is a classic knife skin from the early Arms Deal era, released on August 14, 2013, with the original Arms Deal update. Its "cold blued" finish gives it a subtle, blued metal look that appeals to collectors who prefer understated, non-flashy designs over more colorful patterns. The patina finish darkens and desaturates with wear, making extreme low or high floats sought after as collector's pieces. This skin is recognized as a taste-based, somewhat niche collector and trader item, valued for its old-school aesthetic.

Karambit | Blue Steel is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Sticker Compatibility

The Karambit | Blue Steel, with its muted blue-grey and steel palette, pairs well with cool-colored stickers such as blues, purples, and teals, as well as metallic or foil stickers that complement its subdued metal theme. Since knife skins do not have sticker slots, any sticker synergy comes from matching the knife with stickered weapon skins in a cohesive loadout.
