The Survival Knife in Counter-Strike 2 is one of the best budget-friendly choices for players looking to buy their first knife. It was released in the Shattered Web Case as a part of the Operation Shattered Web update on November 18, 2019.
This knife is inspired by the real-life WEYLAND Tactical Survival Knife, featuring a serrated edge and a sharp-gutting hook. If you’re looking to get yourself a Survival Knife, here are the ten best skins you should consider!
Survival Knife | Fade
Getting a knife from the Fade family is always an easy choice, and it remains the same for the Survival Knife. This knife has a decent-sized blade, allowing it to showcase more gradients from the Fade skin.
The biggest downside to the Survival Knife | Fade is its price. It is by far the most expensive Survival Knife skin in the market, so you must prepare your wallet if you want one of these.
- Price Range: $565.95 – $683.03
- Flavor Text: This isn’t just a weapon, it’s a conversation piece – Imogen, Arms Dealer In Training

Survival Knife | Slaughter
One of the main purposes of the Survival Knife is to go hunting, and the Slaughter skin fits the theme perfectly. The Survival Knife | Slaughter has been painted with zebra-stripe patterns and covered with a red base.
Generally, the knife looks best in Factory New condition, which will cost you nearly $430. However, a Minimal Wear version should suffice, costing around the $330 mark.
- Price Range: $346.95 – $429.27
- Flavor Text: Valeria doesn’t pay Javier to ask questions… she pays him to pry out answers

Survival Knife | Vanilla
If you’re a plain and simple guy, look no further, as the Vanilla version of the Survival Knife becomes a top choice. The plain Survival Knife is perfect for players who like a minimalistic approach.
Since there is no skin on it, you won’t have to worry about the wear of your Survival Knife, making the price relatively consistent. You only need to choose whether you’d like a StatTrak one or not.
- Price Range: $250.44 – $276.59

Survival Knife | Crimson Web
Crimson Web knives are generally one of the most sought-out knife skins in the game, but we don’t think the skin works too well with the Survival Knife. With holes and edges, the Survival Knife does not have enough surface area to showcase the beauty of the Crimson Web.
Still, that doesn’t stop the Survival Knife | Crimson Web from being a good pick. Just be prepared to spend a little over $400 for its best version.
- Price Range: $195.16 – $417.79
- Flavor Text: Be careful where you walk, you never know where the web is spread

Survival Knife | Case Hardened
Looking for a skin with a mesh of different colors? The Survival Knife | Case Hardened features golden and blue colors that work oddly well together. Though regular versions of this knife won’t break the bank, try going for one with more blue colors if you can go over the budget.
Blue Gem versions of the Survival Knife | Case Hardened look mesmerizing, but will cost you close to $1,000.
- Price Range: $193.40 – $463.51
- Flavor Text: A little color never hurt anyone

Survival Knife | Blue Steel
Blue Steel knives are suited for players who want uncomplicated designs – nothing too fancy. This knife has been cold blued to display a nice and shiny steel design.
A Factory New one does feel a little too pricey, but the wear on the Survival Knife | Blue Steel won’t matter too much, and even a Battle Scarred condition works completely fine.
- Price Range: $176.00 – $314.43
- Flavor Text: This is the malbec of weapon design – Booth, Arms Dealer

Survival Knife | Night Stripe
The Survival Knife | Night Stripe has been spray-painted with tape mask patterns in a night ops color scheme, making it the perfect skin for night owls.
A Night Stripe in its best condition is incredibly alluring, as its plain design gives a sleek look. However, it will cost you almost $400.
- Price Range: $124.66 – $398.68
- Flavor Text: Spray… Pray… Paint… Stab.

Survival Knife | Stained
Stained skins are a classic in the Counter-Strike community, and is the preferred option for players not looking to spend too much on skins.
The Survival Knife | Stained has been given a patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto its surface, hence the name “Stained.” Overall, this skin will get the job done.
- Price Range: $157.69 – $325.34
- Flavor Text: If you think it’s messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight

Survival Knife | Boreal Forest
Though there aren’t many, we know some Counter-Strike fans like to explore the outside world and go on wilderness expeditions. If you’re that type of guy, the Survival Knife | Boreal Forest can help you express that side of you in-game.
Additionally, you can get this knife for a bargain, as a Factory New version will only cost you $160.
- Price Range: $119.48 – $163.92
- Flavor Text: The woods can be a dangerous place… never travel alone
- Found In: The Shattered Web Case, Fracture Case
Survival Knife | Urban Masked
To end the list, we have the Survival Knife | Urban Masked, a skin that has been spray-painted with masking tapes as a stencil.
It is one of the cheapest CS2 knives on the list, making it extremely accessible for any Counter-Strike fan. You can get this skin in Minimal Wear condition for around $150.
- Price Range: $119.73 – $171.69
- Flavor Text: True power is demonstrated with subtle application
