About the "Knives" category
Knives in CS2 are items of the highest rarity ★ and the most expensive skin category. The knife is always visible in hand, so it is valued for its looks: popular finishes include Doppler (with phases), Fade, Marble Fade, Case Hardened and Tiger Tooth. A knife's price ranges from a hundred to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the model, finish, phase/pattern and float.
How to get a knife: pull one from any case (chance about 0.26%) or, more reliably, buy a ready one on a marketplace. Before buying an expensive knife, check the phase/pattern and float via the inspect link. More on the phases in the Doppler guide, and on Fade in the Fade % guide.
