Alright, so I’ve been messing around with CS:GO lately, and like everyone else, I got sucked into the whole skins thing. I mean, who doesn’t want their weapons to look cool, right? But damn, some of those knife skins are crazy expensive! So, I went on a mission to find the cheapest knife in CS:GO, figured I’d share my “journey” with you guys.
First, I started looking at what other players said. I hit up some forums and saw a bunch of people talking about different cheap knives. This one guy was going on about how this one knife looked like it was made for a “junkyard during a zombie apocalypse” That sounded kinda cool and funny, but I’m not really into the whole zombie thing.

Digging Deeper
I started looking at the market, and it was a total mess. Prices were all over the place. There was this one called the “Bowie Knife Lore” going for over a hundred bucks! Like what? And there’s more that’s above one hundred dollars! I just wanted something that didn’t look like total garbage, you know?
Then I saw some guide that talked about the “top 20 cheapest knives” in 2024. Finally, something useful, or so I thought. It had a bunch of knives listed, but most of them were still pretty pricey. But then, I saw it – the Navaja Knife.
The Navaja Knife
This thing, especially the “Case Hardened” one, even when it’s “Battle-Scarred”, looked decent and wouldn’t make me poor, yeah it is still expensive but not as crazy as some of the others. The flavor text even says, “A little color.” I guess that’s one way to put it. I’ve heard that Navaja is “sadly” not good, but I don’t care.
So, I pulled the trigger and bought it. It wasn’t super cheap, but it was way less than some of those other knives. Now, I’m not saying it’s the best-looking knife out there, but it does the job, right? The thing is, that the knife looks good! And It does make me feel a little cooler when I’m playing. It’s a cheap knife that makes me happy.
Anyway, that’s my little story about finding a cheap knife in CS:GO. If you’re looking for something affordable, the Navaja Knife might be worth checking out. Just don’t expect it to be super fancy. But hey, at least it looks better than the default knife, and that’s all that really matters, right?
