Odds = the case's gold chance × Karambit finishes ÷ all knife/glove finishes in its pool, with every finish equally likely (Doppler phases share one finish, as in the game). They cover any Karambit finish, before wear and StatTrak. Open cost is the case + key from DropLabz's Steam market snapshot (market data updated Oct 27, 2026).

The cheapest case to chase a Karambit in is the Revolver Case: at $17.18 per opening and 1 in 1,955, that is about $33,586.90 of openings per Karambit on average, and a 5.0% chance of at least one in 100 openings.
