Shadow Daggers
Shadow Daggers are CS2's only dual-wielded blades — twin push daggers from the 2015 Shadow Case with punchy two-handed attack animations. Perpetually divisive and perpetually cheap, they anchor the budget end of the knife market alongside the Gut and Navaja.

Shadow Daggers in CS2: Skins & Market Guide
Supply centres on the Shadow Case with trade-up contracts adding volume since October 2025, and the polarising look keeps demand — and therefore prices — low relative to any single-blade model. The economics of split finishes are worth knowing: every skin renders across two small daggers, which dilutes bold patterns but doubles the flash of clean, bright finishes like Tiger Tooth. For buyers who actively like the pugilist style, few items deliver more distinctiveness per dollar.
