Among the many items you can use to add a layer of personality and customization to your game in Counter-Strike 2 by Valve Corporation, the knife offers many extra dimensions. With various knife types besides the two default ones, all with their own unique looks and animations, you’ll find it hard to name a favorite because of how well-made they all are.
While we prefer the rugged and aggressive design of the paracord or the huntsman knife, it’s also really easy to appreciate a karambit. But that’s just the vanilla knives; skins bring about a whole other game.
There are 22 knives available in-game with 2 default types, one each for CT and T. Each knife has its own set of animations, attack and inspect animations, with every one giving a different feel compared to the rest.
We’ve got knife skins on top of all those other details mentioned. Rarities range from consumer (white) to the exceedingly rare gold-tier, such as the Case Hardened Karambi. With CS GO skins still usable in CS2, there’s a lot to choose from.
To give you an idea of how rare the gold-tier is, the Case Hardened Karambit can be obtained via 11 total cases, but only has a 0.25% chance to yield.

There are many popular knife skins in CS2, and many of them are known for their looks. A perfect example is the Damascus steel look, featuring a prominent, flowing design pattern on the blade, owing to the characteristics of genuine Damascus Steel.
The Ultraviolet Skeleton, available via the Fever case, is a top choice for many, while the Ultraviolet paracord is a personal favorite. The entire blade is dark, contrasted with the bright hue of the hilt. It's too bad there are no knife stickers.
Aside from the skin series, certain skins also possess distinct characteristics. One of these is the fade property. Fade skins feature a gradient in which one color fades into another. The look of a fade skin is influenced by its fade percentage, which also affects its price.
Stattrak is another property that almost always increases an item's value. This is when a particular player stat, such as kill count, is displayed on the item, whether it’s a Vanilla weapon or skin.
Whether you’re looking for a popular skin or you feel a bolt of inspiration to go with an offbeat look, there’s a perfect knife look for every player. At igitems, we offer a wide selection of skins at reasonable prices, which you’ll receive instantly in your Steam inventory. Check out our marketplace right now!
