Jarosław 'pashaBiceps' Jarząbkowski has sold one of the most iconic knife skins in Counter-Strike history for over $21,000, and donated the entire amount to charity.

The retired CS pro revealed the sale on social media, confirming that all proceeds were sent to Cancer Fighters, a foundation that supports children battling cancer in Poland.

PashaBiceps, a legendary figure in the Counter-Strike scene and a former member of Virtus.pro, is widely remembered for being part of the iconic Polish lineup that won EMS One Katowice in 2014. His latest gesture adds to his long-standing reputation within the esports community.

Sharing the news, he thanked fans and bidders who helped make the donation possible, writing, “The most iconic knife in CS just became even more special,” while also encouraging viewers to continue contributing to the ongoing fundraiser.

The knife itself holds sentimental value, having originally been gifted to him in 2015 by a well-known community donor. Over the years, it became one of the most recognisable items associated with the Polish star.

The buyer, reportedly the CEO of an esports organisation, praised the move, calling pashaBiceps a “living legend” and describing the donation as “the definition of selfless.”

The sale is part of a broader fundraising push by Polish streamers, which has already raised significant sums for the charity. PashaBiceps’ contribution stands out as another example of how the esports community continues to rally behind meaningful causes.
