Every CS2 VANILLA Knife Ranked From Worst to Best

All 20 knives in Counter-Strike 2, ranked from worst to best, not by opinion but by what players actually pay for each one: the plain (vanilla) knife on the Steam Market in October 2026. From a $48 knife that looks like a letter opener, to the most expensive knife in the game. Plus the stories behind each one: the five originals from 2013, the Shattered Web and Horizon knives, the only knife made for CS2, the blue gem Karambit, and how one Valve update cut most knife prices in half. Prices are the Steam Market 14-day median for each vanilla knife (converted to US dollars), with real-money trading-site prices where they matter. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Every CS2 knife, ranked 0:53 The trade-up update that changed knife prices 1:29 #20 Navaja Knife 2:28 #19 Survival Knife 3:29 #18 Paracord Knife 4:17 #17 Gut Knife 5:12 #16 Shadow Daggers 6:03 #15 Ursus Knife 6:48 #14 & #13 Kukri vs Bowie (a tie) 8:15 #12 Falchion Knife 9:05 #11 & #10 Huntsman vs Nomad (another tie) 10:07 The April 2023 peak 10:35 #9 Flip Knife 11:20 #8 Classic Knife 12:08 #7 Stiletto Knife 12:50 #6 Skeleton Knife 13:35 #5 Bayonet 14:17 #4 Talon Knife 15:07 #3 M9 Bayonet 15:57 #2 Karambit 17:02 #1 The best knife in CS2 18:24 The five originals and the knife that never came out 💰 SKIN PRICES [AFFILIATE LINK – marketplace] (add when the account is ready) 💬 Which knife is in your inventory, or which one do you wish was?
