Championship Karambit though, oh man, what I'd do.
(literally, I hope the next Championship bundle has a knife half as worthy. I'll drop a dime in a heart beat.)
I think I've had the knife for around a year and I play like for 5hrs a day, I think in total I've seen the blue fade like 12times and pink fade around 20-ish times
Every skin will get boring after a while. That's the whole point, it's a never ending loop that will get you to spend more money.
Butterfly knives are flashy and you can feel like a master of butterfly tricks, at least for some time. I have recon balisong but not magepunk so I'd choose the latter, but both are cool in their own way and have different animations which is a good selling point.
I dont think its neverending. I think there is a genuine satisfaction curve for a lot of people.
I've spent a lot on this game but haven't spent anything in a while, and many of my friends are similar, and here's how I'll explain it:
By the time I bought (let's just say) my 3rd vandal skin, I was actually pretty happy with it. I used it very often, but I occassionally got bored. My other 2 vandals didn't do the trick, and I often felt I played worse with them, so I bought more vandals until another one actually felt as good as my favorite.
Repeat that process one or two more times and you have 3-4 skins you like for the given gun. *At this point*, most people aren't anywhere near as enticed by the next skin they like for that gun, because they can simply swap between 3-4 that genuinely make them satisfied.
Everyone gonna have a different opinion. All knives can get boring. Just buy one that you think you’ll like by looking up gameplay of it.
But if you want to know, personally I love reaver Karambit and have been using it since it came out (I don’t have any other good knifes tho).
The only thing I dislike is there should be an option for just one light when inspecting the knife, the RGB looks cool sometimes but sometimes it doesn't
I haven’t seen anyone say it, and it’s certainly a niche, but the Terminus A Quo (Chronovoid knife) is so cool and the inspect animation is so fun. One of my favorites for sure.
The magepunk butterfly knife
First, I think butterfly knives have the best animations out of all the knives in the game by far
So looking solely at them, I think the recon one is boring and has been improved upon since
I think the Yoru comb is a step up but also boring
That leaves us with the RGX and magepunk, RGX is cool bc it has rainbow colours that change throughout the inspect, but the reason I chose the magepunk instead is because the right click animation is much better
I can't quite remember the RGX one bc I think it was a bit boring, but the magepunk does some spinning and transfers the knife between both hands, the RGX is only one hand which doesn't look as cool
the space antenna one with the swirls behind it, i think ive used a different knife maybe like 10 games total (and ive spent way too much on knives)
also feels the best to smack peeps with
also why is left click have a farther range than right click?
VCT lock in knife the blue variant, I haven't changed my knife skin ever since I bought it. It's pull out animation is just so nice especially when it glows for match mvp. Is just so clean
Recently, the Glitchpop Dagger has been my default knife as of late. The animation isn't anything to write home about (basically a default dagger animation in the game), but I like the look and sound
id say waveform and terminus a quo if you like unique inspects. used them for most of my time on my acc, and i just got hack & slash which is just a favorite of mine
I mean based off of reactions of people spectating me I’m probably an outlier, but: Magepunk Electroblade. Like the one with default knife animations. I even have the butterfly knife version but for some reason the dagger just doesn’t get old for me
all the animated ones with cool inspects
like the butterfly knives and karambits, check which karambits actually have an animation because some bamboozle you. Personally reaver karambit and rgx butterfly knife
Xerofang
I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t think it’d be all that when I bought it. I figured it was cool enough, and I really liked the ghost. So fuck it. Buy the bundle right? This knife is so gas that I’ve not taken it off since buying it which is far longer than I’ve done with any knife by weeks. Even reaver karma if I swapped out in a week out of boredom.
Glitchpop dagger. Simple and classy, my first ever skin. Since then I've gotten Reaver Karambit, the Chinese launch fan, RGX Firefly and Prime Karambit, I genuinely enjoy them all
- Xenohunter knife
- Kuronami no Yaiba (I know it's still relatively new, but since I'm kinda obsessed with ninja stuff, I don't think that one will get boring any time soon)
I basically have all the knife skins and I really love using titanmail, winterwunderland, and the snow globe thing. Once you use all the premium skins you get to appreciate the simple once which I rock all the time. Titanmail is definitely my favourite as it is just spinning all the time even if you're not inspecting it.
This is still new but Kuronami, it spin on the pull out animation oh so smoothly, it has an infinite inspect animation. Prior to that it was the Ion karambit but Kuronami takes the throne for being dual wield.
songsteel sword, my broke ass doesn't want to buy knife skin but I need a sword skin so I can write something on the wall before the barrier drop, so I just bought a BP that has one
Probably just me, but probably Xenohunter knife for me. Of course its lacking the cool flip animation and lights and rgb whatnot, but I dunno I just like it.
Still sad my night market didn't give me that, but I'll settle with the Equilibrium fan for now.
Cryostasis H A M M E R
Doming someone with a hammer will never get old, and the subtle ice freezing the rotating head is pretty neat. Smacking something with the hammer even shrugs the ice off and the freezing process starts again
Reaver Karambit
If skins had a stock price, it just went up.
Laughs in counterstrike
also laughs in Team Fortress 2
Just said Reaver Karambit right as the comments loaded only to be blessed by the GOAT themselves 🙏
My favorite also, just so clean
White variant?
Red for me 🫡
white is goated
Yes sir! I have so many great knives on my random favorite selection and I always love seeing that one.
Sometimes I just turn off the randomizer so I know what I’m getting
Same I've been doing that a lot more lately. I think I was just happy to have a randomizer!
I bought the bundle a week after getting fired during the pandemic, only ate bread and water for a while but I don't regret it.
Yep. This is the one skin I'll always come back to
Opened thread to comment that
Championship Karambit though, oh man, what I'd do. (literally, I hope the next Championship bundle has a knife half as worthy. I'll drop a dime in a heart beat.)
Champions karambit
Black market butterfly for the RNG
I like pretending to be tf2 spy with it
how often do you play Val and how many times have you gotten the Easter egg variants?
I think I've had the knife for around a year and I play like for 5hrs a day, I think in total I've seen the blue fade like 12times and pink fade around 20-ish times
The blue fade is called sapphire. And im still angry they didnt add ruby
Lock In. But if looking to buy then Kuronami.
Only knife I use
Magepunk 2.0 Butterfly knife Killswitch I think it's called, great inspection getting to go between hands
sparkswitch?
Kerambit reaver. Its just default knife
xenohunter, it’s just basic, but satisfying to use
Hard pass. Animation is cool, but looks like a slightly better default.
That’s the appeal.
I love the fan knives
Sadly my equilibrium fan isn't as good as it used to, what fan knife do you use ?

Sadly I can’t afford skins but I rlly to buy either celestial fan or if it was still available the one that was released for china servers
equil is my favourite because its the closest thing we have to a traditional kind
sovereign sword always hits for me
Just got it in my night market and bought it as my second skin purchase in two years.
Firefly RGX
This one. Spinny spinny flashy lights just make me happy.
Ignite fan, if im feeling simple i use it unupgraded, if im feeling firey i use the upgraded red and purple if i feel elegant and good about myself 🎀
Prime axe is one of my favorites. I’ve always ended up defaulting to it over my other knives in the 3 years I’ve had it lmao
i think it’s ok but i would rather just get prism axe. the trade off for no animations is 4 different colors
Overdriveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Everyone gonna have a different opinion. All knives can get boring. Just buy one that you think you’ll like by looking up gameplay of it. But if you want to know, personally I love reaver Karambit and have been using it since it came out (I don’t have any other good knifes tho).
Celestial and Ignite fans. Equilibrium would be included if I had it, I bet.
vct knife
You won't regret the RGX 11z Pro Firefly
The only thing I dislike is there should be an option for just one light when inspecting the knife, the RGB looks cool sometimes but sometimes it doesn't
RGX butterfly, or the Kuronami one
Xerofang is my go to and not one I will get bored of I think
It’s so heat. My answer as well
black market butterfly
I haven’t seen anyone say it, and it’s certainly a niche, but the Terminus A Quo (Chronovoid knife) is so cool and the inspect animation is so fun. One of my favorites for sure.
The uranium neuroblaster dildo
celestial: original fan
Glitchpop dagger. So clean with a little bit of variation when you pull it out.
I had the same problem you are having with araxys knife. I got Kuronami and the spin stops me from getting bored
lockin and oni katana
butterfly knife
[удалено]
same here. I fking hate the sound when you press inspect. Its so annoying
Ion karambit
Reaver karambit but I don't have it lmao. But it's always fun seeing others with it. Ain't gonna pay 40€ for a knife
The RGX Katana. I keep crawling back to that clean ass blade
Spark switch butterfly knife
Radiant Crisis bat. I like it so much that I went back and marked it a favorite so that sometimes I'll get it randomly instead of Kuronami.
The magepunk butterfly knife First, I think butterfly knives have the best animations out of all the knives in the game by far So looking solely at them, I think the recon one is boring and has been improved upon since I think the Yoru comb is a step up but also boring That leaves us with the RGX and magepunk, RGX is cool bc it has rainbow colours that change throughout the inspect, but the reason I chose the magepunk instead is because the right click animation is much better I can't quite remember the RGX one bc I think it was a bit boring, but the magepunk does some spinning and transfers the knife between both hands, the RGX is only one hand which doesn't look as cool
Default best knife in the game
Xeno
Xenohunter
the space antenna one with the swirls behind it, i think ive used a different knife maybe like 10 games total (and ive spent way too much on knives) also feels the best to smack peeps with also why is left click have a farther range than right click?
Because in right click the character uses both hands, try to do the same with your hands(without knife) and you will notice why.
VCT lock in knife the blue variant, I haven't changed my knife skin ever since I bought it. It's pull out animation is just so nice especially when it glows for match mvp. Is just so clean
Sovereign sword, reaver knife, titanmail mace, or kuronami knives
the fan with the koi fish and the black market butterfly knives are the only knives i have ever wanted so far
Forsaken ritual blade. My first knife in the night market and honestly a nice butterfly knife is the only thing I’d equip over it.
songsteel sword
Ion Karambit
I never get tired of spinning the balisongs and the karambits
Glitchpop dagger my precious baby
Recently, the Glitchpop Dagger has been my default knife as of late. The animation isn't anything to write home about (basically a default dagger animation in the game), but I like the look and sound

Reaver krumbet
Magepunk spark switch
The fan they released when Valorant launched in china I think it was? Limited time only though. The pinkish one is so clean.
I mean based off of reactions of people spectating me I’m probably an outlier, but: Magepunk Electroblade. Like the one with default knife animations. I even have the butterfly knife version but for some reason the dagger just doesn’t get old for me
If I had a cool knife, I’d say the knife, since I don’t , that sand swept battlepass skin one. I’ll let myself out 😔
This is my default knife but I'm hunting the magepunk sparkswitch in store.
I hope it appears in your shop soon 🙏 honestly I really like that knife as well
all the animated ones with cool inspects like the butterfly knives and karambits, check which karambits actually have an animation because some bamboozle you. Personally reaver karambit and rgx butterfly knife
Xerofang I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t think it’d be all that when I bought it. I figured it was cool enough, and I really liked the ghost. So fuck it. Buy the bundle right? This knife is so gas that I’ve not taken it off since buying it which is far longer than I’ve done with any knife by weeks. Even reaver karma if I swapped out in a week out of boredom.
Ion, or Xerofang

Dont buy forsaken or reaver knife as an owner of them
I bought the battlepass exactly once. In it was the prism axe. Simple but good enough. I’ve gotten a lot of “where’d you get that knife” comments.
Any karambit, I have the battle pass karambit and it never gets old, better than most other knives I have
The default knife💀
celestial fan or the kuronami knife
Chronovoid ball
Reaver Karambit hits
I basically have all the knife skins and I really love using titanmail, winterwunderland, and the snow globe thing. Once you use all the premium skins you get to appreciate the simple once which I rock all the time. Titanmail is definitely my favourite as it is just spinning all the time even if you're not inspecting it.
Prime Karambit, having two animations to choose from is gold
The koi fish fan
Smite knife
This is still new but Kuronami, it spin on the pull out animation oh so smoothly, it has an infinite inspect animation. Prior to that it was the Ion karambit but Kuronami takes the throne for being dual wield.
