For many players, Counter-Strike Global Offensive 2 isn’t just about the flashy plays and adrenaline pumped matches but also for the exotic skins that make your weapons standout. Let’s dive into the top 5 most expensive CS:GO skins to date, from knives, AWPs, and rare AK skins.

Factory New - Karambit – Case Hardened (Blue Gem Pattern #387) ($2 million )

The crème de la crème of CS: GO skins. This almost mythical Karambit is currently the game’s most expensive skin. Astoundingly, its owner declined an offer of around $1.5 million USD. Its value comes from the fact that it is factory new on top of being the Case Hardened Karambit with the highest quality “blue gem” pattern out of more than 900 patterns (one side completely blue), making it extremely rare and valuable.

AWP Dragon Lore (Souvenir) ( $150,000)

The Souvenir editions of Dragon Lore, especially in Factory New condition, are symbolic, commemorating specific esports events and featuring golden stickers of the teams. Their prices? Easily over $150,000.

AK-47 – Case Hardened (661) ($30,000 – $120,000)

Sporting the unique ‘blue gem’ look, the pattern number 661 skin is a coveted item. It is known as the #1 AK-47 blue gem pattern and its price is often increased by applying valuable stickers.

Vice / Pandora’s Box Sport Gloves (Factory New) (Over $20,000 – $50,000)

Standing out with their vivid colors, these Sport Gloves rank among CS:GO’s most valuable glove skins. Rarity plays a part too; there are only 92 Factory New Vice Gloves in existence, with prices reaching $20,000. The Pandora’s Box counterpart can climb up to $50,000.

Karambit / Butterfly / M9 Bayonet (Gamma Dopplers and Dopplers) ($15,000 – $20,000)

The stunning visuals of these Doppler knives, particularly in Sapphire, make them a prized possession in CS: GO. Each of these knives offer rare phases that make the knife a particularly valuable ‘phase’ of the skin. Prices can rocket beyond $20,000, especially for the exquisite Emerald Butterfly Knife.
