★ Karambit | Black Laminate (Factory New)

The ★ Karambit | Black Laminate (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish that pairs a
stonewashed blade with a black laminate handle. Factory New is the cleanest grade this finish comes in, and
here that stonewashed texture reads at its most defined.

Design

The blade carries a stonewashed treatment, a matte, worked-metal look rather than a glossy
paint job, and the handle scales are finished in a black laminate that gives the grip a layered,
almost wood-grain feel. It's a quiet, tactical look next to the knife's flashier finishes.

★ Karambit | Black Laminate (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish spans the full float range from 0.00 to 1.00, covering all five wear grades.
Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range, so the stonewashed texture and the handle's
laminate grain both show up sharpest here, with none of the fading a higher-float copy picks up. In float terms, this grade runs 0.00–0.07.

Karambit | Black Laminate Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — this sits in the rare special ("knife") slot rather than an ordinary
Covert skin, the gold-tier pull that outranks every regular weapon grade in its case. Landing one
at all is the hard part, regardless of which wear it comes in.

Karambit | Black Laminate Case and Collection

Black Laminate isn't part of a themed collection — it drops from the Gamma Case and the Gamma
2 Case. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole lands at roughly 0.26% per case opening, which
is why most buyers grab one on the market instead of chasing that pull directly.

Karambit | Black Laminate Patterns

This is a fixed design — the paint-seed index behind each copy doesn't change how the
stonewash or the handle laminate looks, so every Black Laminate wears the same artwork. There's
no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to chase here; wear and float are the only things separating
one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, adding a permanent kill counter that carries through
any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives never appear in Major-tournament
souvenir packages, regardless of case or collection.

Karambit | Black Laminate Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's own price ladder, and Black Laminate as a whole
lands in the mid-tier among this knife's finishes — still a premium item overall, just one of the
more accessible ways to own a Karambit. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery
and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Karambit Black Laminate in?

It comes from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case rather than a single dedicated box. Both
cases pull the rare-special ("knife") tier at roughly the same odds, which is why most players end
up buying theirs on the market instead of hunting a specific case.

Is there a best pattern or seed for the Karambit Black Laminate?

No — this is a fixed-design finish, so the paint seed doesn't change how the stonewash or the
black laminate handle looks from copy to copy. There's no blue-gem-style hunt here; float and wear
grade are what actually separate one Black Laminate from the next.

Does the Karambit Black Laminate have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists and tracks confirmed kills permanently across trades and sales.
It doesn't have a Souvenir version, though — knives simply aren't included in Major-tournament
souvenir packages, no matter the finish.
