Five cheapest CS2 knives

Knives are the crown jewels of any CS inventory. Without one, it’s hard to call your collection complete. But there’s a catch — knives usually cost more than most AAA games, and the rarest ones can go for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog breaks down five of the cheapest knives in Counter-Strike 2.

You can buy a budget knife on our site at prices lower than the Steam Market. Upgrade your inventory for less!

How did we choose the cheapest knives?

Before we dive in, here are three simple rules we followed:

1. We use Steam Market prices since that’s where the majority of players shop.
2. All knives listed are in Field-Tested condition — it gives a fairer idea of pricing. Keep in mind that Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred ones may be even cheaper.
3. No duplicate knives or skins in this list — otherwise it’d be full of Navaja and Safari Mesh combinations.

Navaja Knife Safari Mesh

• Drops from: Danger Zone Case, Horizon Case
• Steam Price: $127

Buy Navaja Knife Safari Mesh Field-Tested for $115 on CS.MONEY

We’re starting with the cheapest of the cheap. The Navaja Knife isn’t everyone’s favorite — small blade, awkward shape — and Safari Mesh is a skin every budget player knows. Together, they make an ultra-cheap combo.

Shadow Daggers Boreal Forest

• Drops from: Shadow Case
• Steam Price: $138

Buy Shadow Daggers Boreal Forest Field-Tested for $115 on CS.MONEY

Shadow Daggers are hit-or-miss — some people love them, others can’t stand them. The Boreal Forest skin doesn’t help their case either. The result? A low price tag.

Gut Knife Forest DDPAT

• Drops from: 11 different cases
• Steam Price: $160

Buy Gut Knife Forest DDPAT Field-Tested for $143 on CS.MONEY

Another nature-themed skin that the community tends to ignore. The gut hook-style blade has been in CS for over a decade, and it’s been at the bottom of most tier lists ever since. That’s why it’s so affordable.

Paracord Knife Urban Masked

• Drops from: Fracture Case, Shattered Web Case
• Steam Price: $172

Buy Paracord Knife Urban Masked Field-Tested for $153 on CS.MONEY

Now we’re looking at more classic blade shapes. The Paracord Knife isn’t flashy, and Urban Masked isn’t exactly eye-catching either. But this one already costs more than the forest-style knives.

Survival Knife Night Stripe

• Drops from: Fracture Case, Shattered Web Case
• Steam Price: $176

Buy Survival Knife Night Stripe Field-Tested for $154 on CS.MONEY

One more knife introduced during the Shattered Web operation. Night Stripe is perfect for fans of dark skins and looks especially good on the CT side. It’s also one of the most affordable options out there.

All of these knives — and thousands of other skins — are waiting for you on our site! Check them out and grab a great deal for less than on Steam!
