In the high-octane world of Counter-Strike 2 skin trading, where virtual knives can outprice exotic cars, one item reigns supreme: the No Star Karambit with a 0.000000000 float value. Linked to a mysterious Steam account called “caseapia”, this glitched knife—missing its “★” symbol, paintseed, and wear—is more than a skin. It’s a legend born from a Valve mistake, a collector’s obsession, and a rule-breaking artifact that electrifies the CS2 economy. Join CSMarketCap as we unravel the wild tale of gaming’s rarest treasure.
A Glitch That Changed Everything
Picture 2013, the early days of CS:GO’s skin boom. The Arms Deal update had ignited a trading frenzy, with Karambit | Vanilla knives fetching thousands. A scammed player, desperate to recover their lost blade, contacted Steam Support, which then offered item restorations. But in one chaotic moment, Valve’s team birthed a monster: a knife labeled simply “Karambit”, without the “★” Covert rarity symbol, boasting an impossible 0 float value and no paintseed or paintwear.
Every CS2 knife flaunts a star for its elite status, and float values (measuring wear) typically range from 0.06 to 0.80 for Vanilla Karambits. This knife? It’s a flawless, glitched marvel—a digital phantom that defies the game’s code.
What Makes It Legendary
The No Star Karambit isn’t just rare—it’s one-of-a-kind. Here’s why it’s the ultimate prize:
Singular Existence: Likely the only one in the world, it has no duplicates. Even the Karambit Case Hardened Blue Gem (Pattern 387), valued at over $1.5 million, has multiple copies. The No Star stands alone.
Perfect Zero Float: Its 0.000000000 float makes it CS2’s least-worn item, topping databases like csfloat.com. No paintseed or paintwear sets it apart from the game’s randomization.
Starless Wonder: Missing the “★” and purple rarity border, it’s a glaring error that screams uniqueness, a collector’s dream etched in Valve’s early missteps.
Unboxed? Dropped? Crafted? No—this knife was a freak accident, a glitch that skyrocketed its value.
The Caseapia Mystery
As of July 2025, FloatDB points to “caseapia” as the knife’s owner. But FloatDB, despite its tracking prowess, isn’t flawless—private inventories and bugs (like a March 2025 Reddit post about a misattributed Karambit Doppler) muddy the waters. Is “caseapia” the true holder, or a database glitch?
The knife’s last confirmed owner was HFB (possibly “Gyr_”), a titan trader whose $2 million inventory stunned fans in 2022 when they briefly went public, flashing the No Star Karambit. Now, it’s likely hidden in a private vault, with “caseapia” as an unverified lead.

A Skyrocketing Value
What’s a one-of-a-kind glitch worth? In 2019, @ohnePixel on X estimated $15,000, up from a rumored $3,000 sale in 2015. With CS2’s skin market blazing in 2025, whispers suggest $500,000 to $1 million+, rivaling Blue Gem trades. HFB once rejected 1500 keys (tens of thousands of dollars), and today, this knife could buy a mansion.
