CS:GO champion and Youtuber/Streamer DrDisrespect has posted a video to his channel and Instagram showcasing his newly unlocked Knife. The gamer has won two Streamer of the Year titles in 2017 and 2019. He has also been involved in a few controversies, which saw him permanently banned from Twitch in 2020.
DrDisrespect, after his ban from Twitch, switched to Youtube for streaming his gameplay ever since. The streamer currently has 4.4 Million subscribers on Youtube and averages around 500,000 views each day and some days as high as 4,524,749 views. His net worth is estimated to be around $6 Million.
In his recent video uploaded to Youtube, DrDisrespect opens up many containers in CS:GO hoping to find a knife. The gamer is unlucky in his many attempts to find a knife in one of the containers, but after many tries, he opens a Chroma 2 Case which nets him a very rare knife.
DrDisrespect, as he opens the container, can be heard professing his love for CS:GO, and the Chroma 2 Case spins and stops at a rare knife. His reactions after that can only be categorized as ecstatic.
Which Knife did DrDisrespect unlock, and what is it worth?
The knife unlocked by DrDisrespect is an M9 Bayonet Sapphire worth $16,000. The knife has a Sapphire Doppler phase by which its value increases greatly. The high value is because items and skins can be traded in CS:GO, and websites list market prices for each item and its Doppler Phases (Colors schemes).
Now fans of DrDisrespect and CS: GO gamers are offering upwards of $100,000 for the M9 Bayonet Sapphire. The knife’s value has increased by multiple folds as it belongs to DrDisrespect. But since he has already used the knife in matches, it will not be factory new, affecting the prices as factory new skins are valued more in the market.
I’ve already been offered $100,000.

One Twitter user Joshua Hartley, a Marine, OIF & OEF veteran, replied, “For a digital knife? I have that knife irl that we deployed to combat with. Doubt it would see an offer over $100 if I tried to sell it. Strange to see how high a value our world places on some things vs. others.” to this, another user replied, “Maybe if it was a sapphire doppler.”
The knife may also increase in value since DrDisrespect has used it, but we are still to see if the Youtuber will put the knife up for trade or keep it for himself.
