CS2 KNIFE TIER LIST (Updated Knives Showcase and Ranking)

[@tylergalligani1599]

Everyone sleeps on the stiletto's sound design. That little *click* when you equip it is so satisfying

[@CoolBurnz]

True. Same for the Bowie that sound design is brilliant

[@Ignore_2_sccs]

bro stiletto is litterally the best knife in the game. no questions.

[@sofarsogod]

If a guy uses stiletto or skeleton is pretty much a god of movement best knives in the game, the nomad is great as well, s1mple, niko and m0nesy use or used this knives for a reason, the bayonet m9 and the butterfly are so overrated. But who cares better for me because the best knives are the cheapest atleast for now.

[@tylergalligani1599]

@@sofarsogod I mean I genuinely think the m9 and butterfly are great and the naysayers are usually coping

[@zxcxzxc]

stiletto has that classy connoisseur vibe

[@TheSlaid]

That’s a really good way of explaining it haha

[@Habit117]

Fun fact: the classic and stiletto are the only knives who can be inspect-juggled from hand to hand once they bring back the righthand 0 command. Also not to sound too biased but the classic also has an insane hidden animation where you can rotate it the second it lands on the tip of the blade during the rare animation of you press your inspect button right at that second. Happy new year! 🎉

[@silense4644]

They added it, but due to the re-deploying you can’t juggle :(

[@bakpaky]

YOU SAID IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!!! Bowie knife now s tier

[@aeosxMC]

thats an m9 bayonet...

[@bakpaky]

@@aeosxMC I think you misunderstand the comment my friend

[@TheCanadianReacts]

Huntsman my fav forsure. So clean and to get a gem for 1/10 of the price of a m9 is insane

[@davidfrost8975]

Gotta say I'm glad people think the huntsman knife is bad. Helped me getting the huntsman knife for cheap and I love it.

[@high1458]

Huntsman is underrated

[@TheSlaid]

Absolutely

[@arnauroiss]

facts

[@999codee]

huntsman A tier w super underrated

[@Nateabolic]

Respect for Huntsman in A tier, best knife IMO

[@Liamlime999]

W takes from Skrillex and Juice wrld here

[@arnauroiss]

I think that this is the only tier list that I agree

[@TheSlaid]

You have good taste in CS🤝

[@redrichie1772]

recently bought huntsman actually as a bday gift to myself. your point about the bowie knife is so true tho. sick knife but the idea that you only see one hand really lets it down i think. particularly if you own gloves too.

[@EdReturns]

TIME TO UPDATE THE BOWIE KNIFE!

[@StanleyTheLazy]

I would make few adjustments: 1. Swap bayonet with the ursus - cs is a game where cts fight the ts whereas bayonet is a military thing for close combat, so it does not belong here - in modern world people fight with guns not bayonets (but m9 looks pretty good and what’s the most important the m9 pullout animation looks somewhat realistic, whereas the bayonet’s is out of the ass - ugly) 2. Move the bayonet behind stiletto and make paracord the top b - paracord has a unique, beautiful handle, it looks amazing in vanilla and other finishes - even forest ddpat has a black handle - huge W. Blue steel, case hardened, crimson web, slaughter - ahh so good. 3. Move shadow daggers behind the new paracord’s placement - the are good for awp, don’t cause display wobble and are entirely coloured, which is something unique. 4 swap flip knife with gut - flip k nife is at best pocket knife - awful handle, very small, bad animations, imo if it was not for gem finishes, it would be worse than survival. Gut is actually preem knife for an insane terrorist, who likes to do „things” to his victims. It has a soul, it looks like it could be real, not just in game pixels. 4 and the last thing, reshuffle the A tier as following: skeleton, huntsman, talon, ursus, as it reflects value for money ratio more efficiently. It would be a perfect tier list, since it’s more accurate due to more complex ranking process and would reflect which knives are worth the $. Remember, knives are expensive for most people in the community. Thank you for reading it hah.

[@notevoms]

this is next level autism wow

[@thekrispypub14]

You guys do great tier lists. Keep up the amazing work, bros!

[@TheSlaid]

Very much appreciated thank you🤝

[@EpicDonutDudeMemes]

M9 don't need no insane animation to make it good, the blade speaks for itself to add to this, its a perfect CT knife combined with a karambit or other crazy animation knife on T side.

[@TheSlaid]

100% agree m9 is amazing on CT and pairs really nicely with CT agents as well🤙

[@dr_birb]

That's one way to cope

[@chon4k]

Me watching this 9 months later with the Bowie having two hands showing now. Man it's really good now. Hard to decide between Bowie and Huntsman.

[@DieNr.10]

Finally somebody talks about the ugly ass greenish an brown handles of too many knives thx Guys

[@sajmon8857]

Paracord knife is sooo slept on Damn... the blade looks great, the handle looks like REAL tactical knife handle... it have special draw and inspect animations in hands it looks good and you put it in C tier ?? DAMN

[@ayyjayy5018]

blades just so thin and weak looking and you have to get the special inspect otherwise it's kind of meh

[@PsychedelicAnonymous6035]

you're coping hard bro, it's trash sorry

[@oger927]

Survival is being slept on holy shit lol 😅

[@freezydmx7820]

Yeah and they are not super expensive. You can get like survival slaughter it looks amazing.

[@Chicken_CS]

The dude jumping in the back lmaooo

[@MrShootMania]

Awesome Tier List guys, I can only agree with that and I share your opinions 99%, still some knives I would have put lower for some of them but I guess that's very accurate! Also Huntsman one of my favourite and you put it in A tier, this made me so happy to see! I love your duo, it's clean and constructive comments on all skins, it's very informating, +1 Sub, keep up with the good vids bros! ❤️

[@TheSlaid]

I massively appreciate it, thank you very much for the kind words and feedback😃 I will absolutely keep making more CS2 content, and your comment really gives me a ton of motivation, thank you🙌

[@MrShootMania]

No problem bro it's a pleasure! It's rare that I'm writing this type of comment but I really enjoyed your video for real! 😍 Can't wait to see the next videos 😘

[@ayyjayy5018]

Huntsman is by far the most underrated knife in the game

[@JacobSkatezz]

I bought a Damascus steel Field Tested butterfly knife and paired it with some queen jaguar gloves minimal wear cuz the butterfly has a loose pattern so it looks like a zebra stripped knife got the combo for $900 and even for the butterfly being field tested it looks factory new no scrapes or scratches vs all the other knife finishes they get scuffed up even in fn they will have some scuffed spots the only difference between a field tested and a factory new one is the factory new one shines more in the sun and areas with a lot of light but I like the field tested because u can see the pattern way better and it still has a decent amount of shine to it

[@blazer7731]

Thinking of copping a Huntsman. Love the big blade and the spinny animation when you pull it out

[@Ibetalkinvidyagames]

They should have gone with the more updated switch blade in the pro-tech or a micro-tech OTF instead of a classic Italian stiletto. Now we have a vampire knife and a boa chopper on the way. Dreams and nightmares is actively dropping more gamma dopplers. Knives are going to pop off. The survival knife looks too much like a tie on harpoon that it looks more emergency seatbelt strap cutter.

[@KapreYT]

Great video man! Can you do a budget vs expensive red inventory?

[@mparmpamprilios209]

I totally agree with everything on this vid

[@exia7684]

Survival Knife is slept on. It has the best rare pullout out of the new knives (aside from the Skeleton), it's blade is nice but not long like the Paracord, and not super plain like the Ursus.

[@PsychedelicAnonymous6035]

cope harder fam

[@Bu1cher]

Flip knife is A tier easy when you imagine cs awaping first what comes to your mind is flip knife

[@Bu1cher]

Such a legendary knife very simple and that’s why I love it

[@TheSlaid]

Yeah I will say the flip knife definitely has some history behind it which is pretty dope

[@PsychedelicAnonymous6035]

Only pull out is smooth, it has no unique sound, inspect is mid, and above all, it doesn't make any sense as a knife. A flip knife has to have a blade of the same size or shorter than the handle. It's absurd looking. I understand that pull out is smooth and we saw a lot of awpers play it, but it's objectively in no way, shape or form A tier.

[@ralp2418]

Stiletto being in B tier is a crime my g 💀💀💀

[@KyurieI]

I maintain if the Shadow Daggers had the default pullout sound it’d be way better.

[@Matteomax]

7:06 me in the back

[@smolPjusk]

the talon is my favorite knife, because it can spin really really fast if you push R then F then R then F and repeats it u know, it's so nice to look at, it should be on the S tier as it spins faster and have more animation then the karambit

[@ev1ld4rk69]

i disagree as an owner myself. this fast spinning rare animation is a thing that makes it worse than karambit. the equip animation is sick, the common inspect like karambit one, but the fast spin makes it unspammable! the fact that the hand gets pulled forward ruins everything.

[@smolPjusk]

U can hold in the F key while having the rare spin animation then it can spin forever as long you hold in the F key, that you can't do with karambit which is kinda sad

[@ev1ld4rk69]

@@smolPjusk it’s not a spam chain though, karambit, butterfly (ehh kinda), bowie and daggers all have fluent transition when you spam inspect+reload. talon on the other hand has this rare hand pulling forward (no pun intended) animation, so no fluent silky smooth chain there (it’s clunky at best). literally the only downside, great knife overall.

[@ev1ld4rk69]

still better than all the other knifes (except for m9, this thing is goated even with default inspects)

[@Trashcan9999]

Ok i really dislike the falchion knife but that heavy stab animation is sick, just wish the draw animation was better.

[@thanakornnarisirikul9261]

No its not downside The real downside is ur gloves ill show 50%less than other knife....dark fact

[@voorachter2733]

People sleep on Shadow Daggers. The inspect spam is almost as addictive as Karambit/Butterfly spam

[@666nevermore]

The fact that you don’t consider the hands positioning to evaluate a knife is a steal tbh. You rankings are so on point but you must consider where both hands are with each knife to give a proper evaluation. Falchion knife hides a lot of the off hand for example, nomad is infinite times superior as overall shape

[@rerandomized-z6i]

Personally, the reason i like the stiletto knife is because of what you would call gentleman vibes.

[@PsychedelicAnonymous6035]

stiletto is S tier, no other way around it

[@computersandgaming6664]

I am a big fan of the Ursus. I plan on getting a Ursus one day for T side and just one more knife for CT side. I don't need 10 different knifes that I won't ever use just two good knifes.

[@binny_y]

Ursus has one of, if not the best sounds. Asmr knife. Absolutely w

[@zDrillsX]

Can you do a karambit fire and ice explanation? I see people saying 6 max and talk about corner being scuffed and I’m confused.

[@quanghoang5961]

If i don't have gloves, should i buy a bowie knife or a huntsman? I'm quite confused because I don't have much money and can only choose one of the two, so can anyone give me some advice?😢😢😢

[@TheSlaid]

Honestly with no gloves both options are great, I personally think the huntsman looks amazing and it’s a lot cheaper than most other knives👍

[@PsychedelicAnonymous6035]

Huntsman for animation, bowie for sound. Go with what matters most to you and what will make you less bored over time

Hey slaid i just want to know is there a Glock-18 gamma doppler phase1 diamond gems and if u are interest would u like to research about it

[@TheSlaid]

Unfortunately there are no diamond gems for glocks because of the way the pattern is applied to certain skins. Diamond gems only exist on karambits, flip knives, bayonets, and gut knives, and I am currently making another guide on diamond gems for gut knives🤙

i dont get bayo, flip and stiletto should def be above it. Also skeleton would be S if the special animation was the only one, the default one is so bad and ruins the knife

[@notTerabyte]

i would personally swap survival and shadow daggers

[@warpathh]

Switch the Classic Knife and Huntsman and this is pretty solid… Classic knife is the only knife with a static animation and it has some really nice finishes with the blue steel in BS looking incredible.

[@calvinleeboy]

you can tell if a tier list is good or not depending how they rate the stiletto lol

[@linus5229]

I feel like the karambit is lowkey overrated, unless were talking about karambit fade. Talon is way better with the other finishes

[@VinylCreator]

Black Pearl Talon > Any Karambit

[@henrymurray2998]

Crazy ranking on the stiletto knife. Top of B, bottom of A. Not lower.

[@TheCanadianReacts]

Stiletto is pretty mid

[@Chicken_CS]

Ursus looks the most sharp and looks great in dopplers

[@HendiJustHendi]

Give me stiletto and ursus in black lam finishes and they both become S Tier for me

[@cdrcs7225]

Classic became worse in cs2, at least until they fix the WW finishes. But also the metal part of the blade looks worse too. Talon and Karambit lost a few points because of cl_bob, unless you tweak your viewmodel to some extreme values the knives disappear on 4:3 stretched.

[@kcornelis606]

Huntsman L, one of the worst!

[@PsychedelicAnonymous6035]

Objectively, butterfly is the only S tier. Only knife to have unique sound + idle animation + 2 pull out animations + 3 inspect animations. It also has the OG factor. No matter how you look at it it can't be put on the same level as M9 (bugged (thumb + palm), no unique sound, 1 inspect, ok pull out is really smooth, but that's all it has.) or karambit. Talon is objectively better than karambit if you put aside the OG factor. NON-EQUIVOCAL TIER LIST is : S : Butterfly A : Talon, stiletto, Karambit, M9 B : Skeleton Nomad C: Huntsman, Bayo, Flip Trash : all the rest.
