Gut Knife
The Gut Knife is the traditional floor of the knife market: an original CS:GO model whose short, hook-spined blade has never been fashionable — which is exactly why it is usually the cheapest way to own a real knife in CS2.

Gut Knife in CS2: Skins & Market Guide
Deep supply from a decade of cases plus the October 2025 trade-up route keeps Gut prices at the bottom of the class, and the gap between it and mid-tier knives widened as trade-ups flooded entry models. The economics cut both ways: it is the cheapest entry ticket, but also the weakest holder of value and the least liquid at resale. Buy it as a first knife you intend to enjoy, not as a stepping-stone asset — upgrading later means eating the spread twice.
