Browse all 448 knife skins across 20 knife types in Counter-Strike 2. Knives are the rarest and most valuable items, obtainable from weapon cases as rare special items with approximately 0.26% drop chance.
Float value determines how worn a knife looks. Lower float = better condition and higher price. Some finishes show dramatic differences across float ranges.
Pristine, no visible wear. Commands highest premiums.
Very slight wear. Often nearly indistinguishable from FN.
Moderate wear visible. Most common and affordable condition.
Noticeable wear and scratching. Significant price drop.
Heavy wear and damage. Lowest prices but some BS skins are collectible.
Knives are classified as 'Exceedingly Rare' special items in CS2 cases. The drop rate is approximately 0.26%, meaning you have roughly a 1 in 385 chance per case opening. On average, it costs around $962.50 in keys and cases to unbox a knife. The specific knife and finish you receive is randomized from the case's knife pool.
The most expensive CS2 knives are typically Karambit or M9 Bayonet with rare Doppler patterns (Sapphire, Ruby, Black Pearl) or Factory New Fade/Marble Fade finishes. StatTrak versions command even higher premiums. A StatTrak Karambit Doppler Sapphire can reach $15,000+ on the Steam Market, while some patterns have sold for much more in private sales.
CS2 knife finishes include Doppler (with Sapphire, Ruby, Black Pearl, and Phase 1-4 variants), Marble Fade, Fade, Tiger Tooth, Crimson Web, Case Hardened, Slaughter, Lore, Autotronic, Gamma Doppler (Emerald, Phase 1-4), Bright Water, Night, Urban Masked, Vanilla/No Star, and many more. Each finish has different float value ranges affecting wear appearance.
Float value (0.00 to 1.00) determines the wear level of a knife. Lower float = less wear and better appearance. Factory New (0.00-0.07) looks pristine, while Battle-Scarred (0.45-1.00) shows heavy wear. For knives, float is especially important because low-float Factory New versions command massive price premiums. Some finishes like Crimson Web look dramatically different across float ranges.
