Knives

CS2 knife skins - the most prestigious items

Knives are ★ (special) items and some of the most desirable skins in Counter-Strike 2. Prices stretch from a few dozen dollars for budget models such as the Gut Knife or Shadow Daggers in Safari Mesh or Boreal Forest finishes, up to tens of thousands for the rarest variants. The Karambit and Butterfly Knife are the most expensive and most bought - mainly thanks to their prized inspect and deploy animations.

How much do knives cost and what drives the price

A knife price depends on the model, finish, wear and float, and for patterns such as Case Hardened - also the "blue gem" layout. StatTrak™ editions that count kills usually cost more than plain ones. The table above compares Steam and Waxpeer prices for every wear, and the history chart shows how the value has moved over time.
