In Counter-Strike 2, the Knife is a Knife-class weapon that deals 50 base damage and costs $0. Understanding where it fits in the buy menu — and how often it actually gets kills — is key to building an efficient loadout for both eco and full-buy rounds.
Across tracked matches, the Knife is responsible for 1.85% of all weapon kills — the 1st most-used Knife of 1 tracked. Players who pick it up average roughly 4,800 lifetime kills with the weapon, a strong signal of how central it is to the current CS2 meta among the 1,098 players we sample.
On the economy, the Knife costs $0 and pays $1,500 per kill. Weigh that against your team’s buy: a strong kill share makes it a reliable full-buy option, while pricier picks are better saved for rounds you can afford to lose the weapon on.
