How to pick a knife under $300
- Knife type matters more than finish. The cheapest right now are Shadow Daggers, Navaja Knife, Kukri Knife, Survival Knife: for the same money you get them in a nice finish, while a Karambit or Butterfly at this budget means Safari Mesh or Boreal Forest at best.
- Field-Tested is the sweet spot. Wear shows less on a knife than on an AK or AWP, and Minimal Wear can cost twice as much. More on FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.
- Match the knife to your loadout color. Even a cheap knife looks expensive when the gloves and weapons share its palette. The Skinset builder locks the knife and fills in the rest.
