Blue gems in Counter-Strike 2 can vary in value significantly. While most items are worth around $300-$500, this particular Nomad Knife is among the most noteworthy items in its class. The knife is resistant to corrosion and retains its edge sharpness in an impressive manner.

Counter-Strike titles continue to command respect

Obviously, the news has the fans’ attention and many seem to be disappointed that their luck isn’t anywhere this good. While we wait to see how much the knife actually sells for, we are stunned by the everlasting popularity of the CS franchise. Granted, there are multiple high-budget FPS titles out there, but the loyal fanbase of Counter-Strike games positions the series on a revered pedestal.

CS:GO is among the most popular competitive FPS titles and regularly hosts sweaty tournaments that attract millions of die-hard fans from all over the world. Popular streamers like Shroud gained popularity thanks to their Counter-Strike content and we expect Counter-Strike 2 to continue the legacy of its predecessors.
