Counter-Strike: Player offers 1.2 million dollars for a knife, but the owner thinks that’s too little

In Counter-Strike skins can achieve a high resale price, especially knives are often traded for enormous prices. However, for the owner of a special item, even 1.2 million dollars were not enough.

The German Twitch streamer ohnePixel is a well-known skin collector and enthusiast in the community of Valve’s tactical shooter Counter-Strike. Occasionally, he even acts as an intermediary when someone wants to buy or sell an expensive item.

In a stream, ohnePixel mentioned an offer of 1.2 million dollars that he was supposed to make to the owner of a special knife.

What was the offer? As ohnePixel mentioned in a stream in 2021, he was contacted by a person who wanted to buy the most expensive knife in Counter-Strike. The streamer was to act as an intermediary and make an offer to the owner of the knife.

ohnePixel wrote to the owner of the knife shortly afterward, stating that someone was offering him 1.2 million US dollars in Bitcoin, but the owner was not interested and replied that the offer was too low. ohnePixel displayed the conversation in his stream (via YouTube)

The rarest knife in Counter-Strike

Why is the knife so expensive? The special knife is a “Case hardened Karambit” with the Pattern Index 387 – this is the “Number 1 Pattern” and extremely rare. Knives with the 387 Pattern Index are also referred to as “Blue Gem” due to their color scheme.

In addition to the Pattern Index, the condition of the knife also plays an important role in its price. The better the condition, the more valuable a skin is. The knife, which is apparently worth more than 1.2 million USD, is in a factory-new condition.

Due to the factory-new nature of the Karambit, it is worth more than the same knife in a poorer condition. In July, we reported for example about an 18-year-old CS:GO player who drew a Blue Gem Karambit, whose condition was described as “field-tested” and is therefore worth “only” about 200,000 dollars.
