All Knives in CS2 (Full List)

Back in ancient times, Counter-Strike knives were just one of the default weapons in the game, available for everyone. Sure, knife kills were as awesome as they are nowadays. But hunting for a knife skin? This aspect was born in 2013, with the introduction of custom knives in the Arms Deal update. Now, the collection of all CS2 knives includes 20 types and 37 possible skins. Do you know them all?

In addition to the basic practical value of a knife in CS2, the custom forms and colorful skins for this melee weapon are extremely rare. In a nutshell, you have around a 0.26% chance of getting a knife from a CS2 case. The rarity supports high prices, as the only reliable method of obtaining knives in Counter-Strike is to buy them from players or traders.

The high price of some CS2 knives is boosted by an extra layer of rarity. For example, Blue Gem Karambit costs around $1.5M! This sure is a unique item, but other knives with rare skin variations also cost quite a lot.

As for the knife kills in the game, they require good skills from a player, even if a knife eliminates the victim with one hit only. You need to come really close to your opponent, hiding your footsteps and risking getting noticed. If you can manage such situations and perform these miracles in matchmaking, why not get yourself one of the cool Counter-Strike 2 knives? Opponents and teammates will be surprised by your style and masterful play!
