World of knives in CS:GO

Over the long years of the existence of CS:GO, many skins have appeared for every taste and color. Therefore, I present to you the top 15 knife skins that I consider the most beautiful.

A few tips before buying a skin

1. Do not buy Shadow Daggers. This type of knife has a terrible downside. When switching to knives, the screen shakes, which is very unpleasant and sometimes even causes nausea.
2. Inspect the skins before buying. Watch the video on YouTube (links will be under each skin). You can also go to the server with the skin changer, look at the skin, and choose the type of knife that you like best.

#15 Damascus Steel ( $115-1650 )

The creators took real Damascus steel, which ideally blends flexibility and hardness, as their model for the skin. Although it's unlikely that you'll be able to feel it via the screen, you now have a story to share in the upcoming game. Although the skin is neutral and does not contain a lot of colors, it looks great and will definitely please its owner.

#14 Bright Water ( $150-1750 )

The Bright Water skin is inspired by the Navy uniform. For a small price, you get a bright and attractive skin, which is perfect for those who want to collect an all-blue inventory for themselves. The distinctive part of this skin is its uniqueness. The pattern on each knife will be different, and a pattern like yours will never be seen again.

#13 Case Hardened ( $145-1700 )

Case Hardened is an unusual and rather controversial skin that will not appeal to everyone. Case Hardened, like Bright Water, is a dynamic skin with a huge variety of patterns, but that's not the most interesting thing about this skin. Case Hardened is a unique skin that has two rare and valuable patterns called blue gem and gold gem. Some of these patterns are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

#12 Freehand ( $140-1600 )

Knives with the Freehand skin, as described in the game, were painted black and purple, then decorated with a metallic marker (don't worry, the marker won't wear off). ((I prefer to think it's laser engraved)). The skin is dynamic and very diverse. In addition to the unique pattern, you will receive detailed drawings in a fun style that will add some madness and excitement to your game.

#11 Crimson Web ( $135-1950 )

Crimson Web skin, which makes you feel like a hunter who is looking for a victim. With this skin, it will be very nice to sneak up on the backs of enemies and leave your mark on them. The skin is eerily beautiful and is ideal for both a sharp predator that breaks into the thick of things and a tactician who sneaks into the backs of opponents.

#10 Stained ( $150-1400 )

The Stained skin is the result of a chemical reaction between lemon and mustard on the surface of the patina. Each knife has different results after the reaction and creates numerous patterns. Stained is a very unremarkable skin with its own vibe. This is a bright skin that is made for people who don't want a lot of details but don't want just a knife either.

#9 Black Laminate ( $160-1800 )

The black blade, in combination with the white and black wooden handle, looks elegant and prudent. Even if you cannot feel it by touch, you can endlessly enjoy it with your eyes. It is also one of the few skins that gives color to the entire handle. Despite its simplicity, the skin evokes positive emotions, and from personal experience, I can say that it is very pleasant to play with it.

#8 Autotronic ( $210-1900 )

The Autotronic skin looks like a sports car that has been converted into a knife and vividly conveys the feeling of metal, the smell and cold of which can be felt through the screen.
This skin is suitable for those who, like a machine, will perform the assigned tasks prudently and accurately.

#7 Slaughter ( $180-1800 )

The Slaughter skin looks like a knife that has taken many lives and turned red from the blood of the enemy, which dripped and dried unevenly on the sharp blade of the knife. The skin was created to clearly show who sets the rules of the game on the map, and the dynamism and originality of the pattern, with an aggressive vibe, will awaken in you the desire to win.

#6 Lore ( $200-1900 )

Skin Lore creates a feeling of sophistication. A neat ornament on a golden blade with a dark green handle creates a mystical combination that frightens with intelligence, not strength. Lore creates a very aristocratic mood and resembles the famous AWP with a dragon. The owners of this skin will be able to harness the power and wisdom of this mythical creature.

#5 Gamma Doppler ( $300-1800 )

The Gamma Doppler skin is one of the most unusual and charming skins. It contains green, blue, and black inserts that are randomly placed depending on the phase of the skin. A feature of this skin is a unique coloring called Emerald, which resembles a green gem. The price of the Emerald pattern can reach several thousand dollars.

#4 Marble Fade ( $250-1625 )

The Marble Fade skin renders the texture of marble on the blade of a knife, and although it has many colors, you can cover the entire blade in red. If you know what I mean. Marble Fade also features a unique pattern called "Fire & Ice". It is distinguished by the presence of only red and blue colors and has no inclusion of yellow.

#3 Tiger Tooth ( $200-1750 )

Skin Tiger Tooth was inspired by the coloring of the skin of a tiger, a very dangerous and deadly animal. The owner of this knife will be able to take these qualities and use them during gunfights. Tiger Tooth is a bright and interesting skin that looks especially good on Karambit and Talon because these knives follow the shape of tiger teeth.

#2 Doppler ( $270-1700 )

The Doppler skin is a riot of colors and effects designed to give you confidence when rushing and help you calm down after a tough round or stressful clutch. Doppler is unique in its variability and valuable patterns, the skin has 4 different phases with different colors and 3 unique colors that are highly valued in the CS:GO community.

#1 Fade ( $350-2000 )

You want to get the Fade skin over and over again, even in the most dangerous situations, in order to enjoy it in your hand, but be careful not to become a victim of this temptation. A knife with the Fade skin can be safely called a classic and one of the most recognizable skins in CS:GO, and in my opinion, it is absolutely deserved.

I would like to finish on the fact that skins in CS:GO are not only beautiful, they are also a great investment. With the new game engine, many skins look much better, and skins like Fade, Doppler, Tiger Tooth, and many more are likely to go up in price a lot, so you have the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful knife and earn some money ;)

P.S. At the time of writing, Counter-Strike 2 has not yet been released.
