StatTrak™ Karambit | Gamma Doppler (Minimal Wear)
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 painted with black and silver metallic paints using a marbleizing medium, then candy coated.

Description
The Karambit | Gamma Doppler is a fan-favorite CS2 knife skin built on the popular Gamma Doppler finish, known for its shifting, gem-like color effects. Introduced with the Gamma Doppler skin line’s rise in Counter-Strike’s case ecosystem, it quickly became a centerpiece for collectors who value both premium visuals and the Karambit’s iconic blade silhouette.
As a Covert-rarity skin, it sits near the top of the item grading system, meaning it typically has low availability and is not among the common drops. While exact drop chances aren’t publicly guaranteed for every individual pull, Covert knives are generally considered hard to obtain compared to lower-graded weapon skins. Players often seek it specifically because it combines high rarity with one of the most recognizable Doppler styles.
This skin is available in the following conditions: Factory New (0.00–0.03) and Minimal Wear (0.03–0.08), covering a float range of 0 to 0.08. StatTrak is available (Yes), allowing kills to be tracked with the StatTrak counter. Souvenir is not available (No), and the skin is not associated with any specific named collection as listed on the page.
Visually, the Gamma Doppler finish is defined by its vivid, prism-like coloration and dynamic banding across the blade. With Paint Index 568 and the CS2 model presentation, the pattern is part of what makes each Karambit look subtly different—players commonly compare the intensity and alignment of color phases when choosing a particular float and instance.
To obtain the Karambit | Gamma Doppler, look to the cases where the skin is featured: the Gamma 2 Case and the Gamma Case. Because it’s a Covert knife, it’s generally obtained through case opening rather than routine crafting, and many community members treat it as a “top-tier” target when opening Doppler-related collections.
In the CS2 community, this knife is widely regarded as both a status item and a visual showcase. The Karambit shape is already iconic, and the Gamma Doppler finish adds a distinctive, high-impact look that tends to stand out in screenshots, trades, and loadouts—making it a long-term favorite for collectors and players building a premium inventory.
