CS2 Knife Tier List 2026

20 models

Every knife model in Counter-Strike 2, placed into S, A, B and C bands by three measured criteria: market liquidity (40%), daily sales across all finishes (40%) and 30-day price stability (20%). The bands are recomputed from our market snapshots, not voted on.

A higher band means the model is easier to buy, easier to resell and calmer in price. It does not rank animations or looks: a C-tier knife is still a knife, it just trades thinner. Open a model to see all its finishes with live prices.
