Counter-Strike 2 has now grown into the biggest in-game economy of any video game, with an impressive marketcap of $6 billion. What makes some skins so expensive is the same thing that makes some cars, watches and collectibles expensive, scarcity.
But which CS:GO skins are the best of the best, and which have sold for the most? We have taken the time to assemble the most expensive CSGO skins list in the history of CS2 as of December 2025.
1. Factory New Karambit Case Hardened Pattern #387 ($2.5 million+)
Standing at the top of the CS2 skins pyramid, the Karambit blue gem #387 is considered to be the most expensive CSGO skin. It is the bluest pattern you can get on a Case Hardened Karambit with the play side completetly covered in blue.
Its price is in the millions because of the ridiculous amounts of luck you would need to pull one from a case. With over 1000 patterns on this knife skin, to pull exactly pattern #387 in Factory New condition, you would need to hit a ~ 1 in 131 million chance when opening a container that has Case Hardened Karambit in the drop pool.
2. AK-47 | Case Hardened #661 (Blue Gem) – $1.5 Million+
On the 5th of June 2024, a 1 of 1 StatTrak Factory New AK-47 | Case Hardened Pattern #661 sold for a little more than $1 million . Similarly to the Karambit blue gem best pattern, the #661 is considered the best full blue pattern on a AK-47 Case Hardened. On top of this, this 1/1 skin was Factory New and StatTrak making it incredibly rare and 1/1. Every since then, the CS2 Market has gone up 50% in value and this particular skin could be worth ~ $1.5 million.
3. Souvenir AWP | Dragon Lore - $150,000 – $250,000+
Souvenir Dragon Lores are different from the regular Dragon Lores, they only came from Cobblestone Souvenir packages during Majors, came with gold stickers pre-applied, and cannot be crafted or unboxed today.
A standard Dragon Lore is already very expensive, but the Souvenir + the golden event stickers make it the holy grail version, and if it's in Factory New, there are only ~15 in existence.
4. AWP | Dragon Lore (with rare stickers) - Up to $400,000
Take a regular Dragon Lore and put on four iBUYPOWER Holos ($100k currently), Titan Holos ($130k currently), or other ultra-rare Major stickers, and it gets wild, each sticker can be worth ~100k on its own, so stacking four multiplies the price of the base skin and pushes these crafts toward the $400k range (and beyond when the base skin was Factory New or Souvenir).
This concept also applies on other expensive skins such as the AWP | Gungnir.
5. Titan (Holo) | Katowice 2014 Sticker - $110,000
Although not technically a skin, it is still extremely valuable for a single sticker and worth to be put in the list. The 2014 Titan (Holo) sticker has fewer than 25 tradeable copies left and the last recorded sale was around $110,000 in January 2025. These are the most expensive stickers when not applied on a cheap weapon skin.
6. iBUYPOWER (Holo) | Katowice 2014 Sticker - $89,000
Another Challengers titan with got popular from the Titan team scandal, fewer than 30 tradeable stickers remain. The most recent sale was for about $89,000 in March 2025, and pairing four of these on a premium skin can rise the craft into six-figure territory.
7. M4A4 | Howl (StatTrak, Factory New) - $50,000 – $100,000+
The only “Contraband” rarity skin, as it was pulled for copyright issues so supply is frozen and it is only tradeable between players. FN StatTrak copies are the rarest, and stickered crafts have sold for $215,000.
8. Sport Gloves | Pandora’s Box (Factory New) - $40,000 – $60,000+
Among the rarest glove floats; the full purple pattern pairs perfectly with sapphire or Doppler knives, driving up combo demand.
Factory New are exponetially more expensive than other wears, since the possible float wear range for the Pandora's (0.06-0.80) overlaps only 0.01 with the Factory New Wear range (0-0.07), so you have 1 in 75 chance of getting them.
9. Any Doppler Knife Sapphire (Phase 4, Factory New) - $20,000 – $30,000+
Full sapphire gem finish is the most in demand Doppler Phase on a Doppler Knife, with the Butterfly Knife Sapphire leading in price.
10. AWP | Gungnir (Factory New) - $20,000 – $35,000+
A Norse Collection drop that never got dropped from cases, so supply is capped to old drops and trades. Factory New copies sit in the $20k–$35k+ bracket, with low floats and clean crafts pushing higher especially when paired with rare holos from 2014 Katowice Collection.
