Pink Knives and Gloves in CS2: Every Option with Prices

A pink knife is the most common "dream item" in a pink loadout — and also the most confusing one. Half the knives that look pink in the preview turn out red, purple or even blue in game. Gloves are even trickier: CS2 has only a handful of truly pink pairs.

Here are all the pink knives and gloves in CS2 (the same ones as in CS:GO), grouped by price from the cheapest to the top tier, with live prices and what to pair them with.

Which knife finishes are pink

Only three knife finishes give you pink. Remember them and you won't go wrong:

• Doppler Phase 2 — a pink-purple gloss. Phase 2 only: Phase 1 is dark, Phase 3 is green-blue, Phase 4 is blue and Black Pearl is almost black. Comes only in Factory New and Minimal Wear.
• Fade — a gradient from pink through purple to yellow. On most models pink covers most of the blade. Also FN and MW only — and FN is often cheaper than MW, because Minimal Wear Fades are rarer.
• Slaughter — pink-red swirls on light metal. The most affordable pink finish and the only one that comes in Field-Tested.

Cheapest pink knives: under $110

• Navaja Knife | Slaughter — $79.3. The cheapest pink knife in the game.
• Navaja Knife | Doppler (Phase 2) — $91.8.
• Gut Knife | Doppler (Phase 2) — $94.1. A bit pricier than the Navaja, but the model stands out more in hand.
• Gut Knife | Slaughter — $97.7.
• Shadow Daggers | Doppler (Phase 2) — $105. Dual daggers — twice as much pink on screen.
• Gut Knife | Fade — $106.

The Navaja and Gut are small models, but with Doppler Phase 2 even they look bright — the pink gloss catches the eye every time you inspect.

Mid-range pink knives: $110–330

• Huntsman Knife | Slaughter — $164
• Bowie Knife | Fade — $176
• Falchion Knife | Fade — $182
• Huntsman Knife | Doppler (Phase 2) — $209
• Nomad Knife | Fade — $247
• Bayonet | Slaughter — $260
• Flip Knife | Doppler (Phase 2) — $275

The best value here is the Flip Knife | Doppler (Phase 2): a popular model with a great inspect animation and a clean pink gloss. For a cheaper Fade, the Bowie and Falchion give you a big blade with a large pink area.

Top-tier pink knives

• M9 Bayonet | Fade — $817
• Butterfly Knife | Slaughter — $1,124
• Karambit | Doppler (Phase 2) — $1,077
• Butterfly Knife | Doppler (Phase 2) — $1,814
• Karambit | Fade — $1,600

The Karambit | Doppler (Phase 2) is the classic pink centerpiece. The Butterfly Knife | Slaughter is the most affordable pink butterfly.

Pink gloves in CS2

Here's the full list of pairs that actually look pink in game:

Hand Wraps | Overprint is the most affordable option. Sport Gloves | Vice are the most recognizable pink gloves in the game. In Field-Tested they cost several times less than Factory New, and the difference barely shows in game.

What to pair with what

• Doppler Phase 2 + Sport Gloves | Vice. The brightest, most recognizable combo: glossy pink and neon teal.
• Fade + Specialist Gloves | Fade. The same gradient on knife and gloves — the set looks put together at first glance.
• Slaughter + Hand Wraps | Slaughter or Overprint. A pink-red palette; Overprint is cheaper and brighter.

Ready-made pink loadouts with guns on three budgets are in the pink CS2 loadout guide.

What to avoid

• Other Doppler phases. Phase 1, 3, 4, Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl aren't pink. If the name doesn't say "Phase 2", it doesn't belong in a pink set.
• Marble Fade. Red and blue with yellow, not pink, even if the preview sometimes looks pinkish.
• Crimson Web and Autotronic. These are red finishes; next to Doppler Phase 2, red looks out of place.
• Ultraviolet. Dark purple, not pink.

FAQ

What's the cheapest pink knife in CS2? Navaja Knife | Slaughter — from $79.3. Among Doppler Phase 2 — the Navaja and Gut Knife.

Which gloves are pink in CS2? Hand Wraps | Overprint, Specialist Gloves | Fade, Sport Gloves | Vice and Hand Wraps | Slaughter. Sport Gloves | Ultra Violent are more purple-pink.

Why is a Factory New Fade cheaper than Minimal Wear? Fades almost always drop in FN, while MW is rare. That rarity makes MW pricier, even though it looks the same.

Bottom line

For a pink knife, remember three words: Doppler Phase 2, Fade and Slaughter. The cheapest way in is a Navaja or Gut Knife; the best balance is the Flip Knife | Doppler (Phase 2). For gloves, go Overprint on a budget or Vice for the top. Full lists with prices are on the pink knives and pink gloves pages.
