These are the cheapest knives in CS:GO

For nearly a decade, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been at the forefront of tactical shooters and continues to boast a large active player base.

One aspect of the title that has always been popular is the marketplace, where players are able to buy and sell in-game cosmetics with each other. Due to the loot crate system that randomizes what reward players could gain from opening a crate, some players will often opt to spend more money to just directly purchase the item they want rather than leave it to chance.

One of the more popular yet expensive cosmetic items, knife skins are sought after by almost all players. Due to their extremely low drop chance and hefty price tag, many players do not have a skin for their knife, and owning is as a close to a “status symbol” as there is in CS:GO.

As mentioned above, knife skins are easily the rarest item to drop from an opened case. Fortunately, some knives in CS:GO are reasonably priced for players who are looking to get a skin directly without breaking the bank.

Here are the cheapest knives in CS:GO.

Cheapest CS:GO knives

Navaja Knife

The cheapest of all knives on the marketplace, the Navaja Knife is one of the more simple and less transformative skins in the game. The knife style was included back in August 2018 in an update along with multiple other new knives.

As with all different knives in CS:GO, there are a range of skins that vary in appearance and quality, but if you’re after a cheap knife and not too fussed about the aesthetics, you can pick up a Navaja Knife for around $65, and even a StatTrak one for less than $80.

Shadow Daggers

When initially released in 2015, Shadow Daggers were some of the rarest knife skins in the game, but over time, their value has diminished as more players look to sell.

Shadow Daggers are a pair of knives and one of the very few dual-wielded weapons in the game. Some of the more expensive skins for the weapon are still heavily sought after and can generate an exorbitant price tag but skins like the Safari Mesh, Rust Coat, and Stained are usually very well priced and sit around $70, but can sometimes go a bit lower.

Gut Knife

One of the very first knives acquirable in CS:GO, the Gut Knife is immediately identifiable by the hook on the end of its blade. The Gut Knife typically sits around the $80 mark, but can go a littler bit below at some times. The best budget-friendly skins to keep an eye on the market for are Safari Mesh, Night, or Rust Coat. Like other knives on this list, the quality will be Well-Worn, Field-Tested, or Battle-Scarred.

Falchion Knife

As an addition to the game in April 2017, players could acquire and open Falchion crates with the hope of getting their hands on the Falchion Knife.

The Falchion Knife has a similar appearance to that of the Navaja Knife, as it has a fold-away blade into the complete steel handle. Since its release, the knife’s popularity has dropped as many players opt to use larger, flashier knife skins, though.

Due to this, you can snatch up a Falchion Knife on the marketplace for a reasonable price and add it to your collection. They can be found on the Steam market for as low as roughly $85.

Bowie Knife

In recent times the Bowie Knife has fallen below the $100 mark when it comes to commonly available listings. So while it’s pricier than the others on this list, it’s still one of the most affordable. Released in 2016 during Operation Wildfire, the Bowie Knife has a large menacing blade, and uses the same animation as the default knife skin.
