The chances of getting knife from the case, is much smaller, than weapons, so that's why knifes is more rare.

Also, knife, have the most screen time, than any other weapon. It's because movement speed is faster with knife, so in usual game, you would have more than 50% of time - knife on your screen.

I have not played the game as much as you guys but I know that a knife kill is the best feeling in the world. It is even more desirable if you have a rare knife. And as Coda said with the raity in boxes the price goes thru the ceiling.

Not only that, skins come in different quality and floats, many knives get locked when players get banned, reducing the supply

Many knife cases are also going to the rare drop system and they are also running out of supply

Also knifes couldn't be crafted in trade ups, like covert skins.

Knives are expensive becous as gloves you the enenemy after killing you cant take is for example when you have a skin on ak 47 and you die then you are droping ak 47 with this skin a knife and glove you cannot drop so this is why they are expensive (i think)

Opening a case costs like $2 (or more) with a 0.26% drop chance. If it were a casino you'd get like $500 if you hit a knife. Instead 80% of knives sell for less than $500 while only a handful go for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of $$$

Because it takes a lot of time and money to open cases, which makes the knives more rare and expensive.

Whether something is cheap or expensive is subjective. A knife worth $100 may be inexpensive to you or I, but to someone who is not working or has financial difficulties it most certainly is.

rare things = expensive

how does that not make any sense????

Like others have said, rarity. Considering its a software, just 0's and 1's, it has no real world value so valve has to really bug the numbers.

Ive seen this number mentioned alot.

How many cases do you need to open to get a knife in CS2? What are the chances to get a knife from case opening? 0.26%, which means on average you can pull a knife in one out of 400 cases.

Consider how many cases are opened every day.

Seems to back up that 400 cases statistic.

Weird part, ive prolly opened a 100 cases, ive gotten maybe 3 or 4 stat traks. Nothing ever close to recouping that money.

Never seemed worth the gambling to me... especially given the state of the game.

But I seem to be part of this really rare breed of human, who doenst care about material stuff like, skins on a virtual weapon LOL.
