★ Classic Knife

The ★ Classic Knife holds a special place in the arsenal of CS:GO players, being one of the earliest knives featured in the game. This knife is not just an ordinary blade; it has a storied heritage, as a revised version of the iconic knife found in earlier Counter-Strike titles. When you equip the Classic Knife, you're carrying a piece of gaming history.

As a cosmetic upgrade, the design of this coveted melee weapon draws inspiration from the Badlands Bowie knife, a real-world creation by renowned knife maker Mick Strider. This fact adds a touch of authenticity and rugged charm to its appearance, making it a sought-after item for players looking to enhance their in-game look.

One of the unique features of the ★ Classic Knife is its rare inspect animation. When you inspect the knife in-game, your character performs an eye-catching trick, flipping the knife in a show of dexterity – a visual treat that stands out on the battlefield.

This knife was introduced to CS:GO on October 18, 2019, as part of the game's 20th-anniversary celebrations. It made its debut within the CS20 Case, commemorating two decades of Counter-Strike action. Due to its special status and origins, the Classic Knife is highly regarded among both collectors and competitive players alike.

While the ★ Classic Knife is primarily a cosmetic item, it's essential to note that it functions identically to the default knife in terms of damage. Whether you're making quick slashes or attempting a stealthy backstab for an instant kill, this knife will serve you just as reliably as the standard issue. Owning the Classic Knife is about more than utility – it's about style, nostalgia, and a touch of sophistication in your CS:GO experience.
