Knives are the crown jewels of a CS player’s inventory. Without one, your collection doesn’t really feel complete. But there’s a catch — it’s really, really hard to find a cheap knife. The rarest ones can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars! Today, the CS.MONEY Blog has picked the five cheapest knives in CS2 for 2026.
We picked these knives based on Steam Market prices. But you can get them even cheaper on our site!
Navaja Knife Rust Coat (Battle Scarred)
Steam Market price: $118.08
Buy Navaja Knife Rust Coat Battle Scarred for $106.03 on CS.MONEY
Why are some knives cheaper than others? Small blade, unlucky color, no cool animations — this knife checks all three boxes. Still, it’s a custom knife, and that means it’s a luxury item anyway. Pair it with cheap gloves like the Broken Fang Gloves Needle Point, for example.
Navaja Knife Urban Masked (Battle Scarred)
Steam Market price: $120.75
Buy Navaja Knife Urban Masked Battle Scarred for $101.09 on CS.MONEY
Urban Masked is a simple knife for players who don’t like rust or green colors. The gray blade looks decent enough, and it goes well with gloves like the Hand Wraps Duct Tape.
Navaja Knife Safari Mesh (Battle Scarred)
Steam Market price: $121.38
Купить Navaja Knife Safari Mesh Battle Scarred for $103.04 on CS.MONEY
If you’re into classic camo, Safari Mesh is a great choice among cheap knives. This skin line also has some low-cost gun skins to match. And finding gloves to pair it with is easy too — check out the Driver Gloves Racing Green.
Shadow Daggers Rust Coat (Battle Scarred)
Steam Market price: $123.05
Buy Shadow Daggers Rust Coat Battle Scarred for $105.13 on CS.MONEY
It’s kind of surprising, but not all cheap knives are Navajas. The Rust Coat Daggers made the list too — and they’re the only melee weapon in the game that uses both hands. Gloves really stand out with these, so we recommend the Moto Gloves 3rd Commando Company.
Navaja Knife Boreal Forest (Battle Scarred)
Steam Market price: $124.05
Buy Navaja Knife Boreal Forest Battle Scarred for $103.45 on CS.MONEY
We’re ending our top 5 (or maybe bottom 5?) cheapest CS2 knives list with a classic forest camo. This one’s great for realism fans. And it’s easy to find budget gloves to go with it — how about the Hydra Gloves Mangrove?
Right now, these are the five cheapest knives in the game. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find even better deals. Check out CS.MONEY Market — sometimes you can score a juicy offer and grab an awesome skin for a low price!
