Knives are among the most expensive items in CS2, and it’s no surprise — due to their low drop chance, getting a knife, especially with a low float value, is considered a big stroke of luck. According to official data from Valve, the chance of getting a knife from a case is 0.26%. This means that a rare item appears in 1 out of every 385 cases. However, the chances are calculated independently for each individual container, so even opening several hundred cases in a row does not guarantee anything. Moreover, knives do not drop from every case: some contain another type of rare item — gloves.
Since the list of knives that can be obtained from each case also differs, some cases are more desirable, as they can potentially yield especially valuable variants. Here are the knife cases worth paying attention to in 2025.
Gallery Case
The "Gallery" case was released in 2025. Its main feature is the chance to get a new kukri knife in finishes such as Slaughter, Crimson Web, Blue Steel, and Case Hardened. For "Crimson Web" and "Case Hardened," the pattern index also affects the price, as it determines how the texture is applied. The potential ROI of this case is estimated at 84%. Even if you're not lucky enough to get a knife, there’s still a chance to receive other popular items like M4A1-S Vaporwave and Glock-18 Gold Toof.
Kilowatt Case
"Kilowatt" is another recent case from which you can get a kukri knife. Available finishes include Fade, Blue Steel, Crimson Web, Case Hardened, and others. Thanks to several popular skins in the list, such as AK-47 Inheritance and AWP Chrome Cannon, its ROI is estimated at around 75%. Note that an ROI below 100% means that even if you open cases until you get a rare skin, there's still a chance of ending up at a loss after selling it. Some luck is needed to profit from reselling.
Spectrum 2 Case
Alongside new cases, older ones remain relevant. For example, the "Spectrum 2" case is notable primarily for containing knives with valuable finishes, including Doppler, Marble Fade, and Damascus Steel. Knife types that may drop include the Butterfly Knife, Falchion, and Huntsman Knife. So, if you're aiming for a Butterfly Knife with a good finish, this case might be worth a try. Other notable skins include AK-47 The Empress and M4A1-S Leaded Glass.
Gamma Case
The "Gamma" case was added to the game in 2016, but it still attracts the attention of collectors. That’s because it offers some of the most valuable knives in the game, including the Karambit with Gamma Doppler finishes. Other knives found here include the Bayonet, Flip Knife, and Gut Knife with finishes like Autotronic, Lore, and traditional Bayonet. If you don’t land a knife, there’s still a chance to get skins like M4A1-S Mecha Industries or SCAR-20 Bloodsport.
Horizon Case
The "Horizon" case is another promising knife case, added to the game in 2018. It features knives such as the Talon, Stiletto, and Navaja, including premium finishes like Fade and Case Hardened. The case also includes popular skins like AK-47 Neon Rider and M4A1-S Nightmare.
Keep in mind that even when opening promising cases, the chance of getting a valuable knife remains extremely low. On LIS-SKINS, you can buy not only cases but also knives themselves — and at very attractive prices! Don’t leave it to luck — pick the item you want and grow your collection.
