In general, the price of knife skins depends on things like how hard they are, their gradient, whether they have webbing, and their patterns. Also, many players choose the knife based on two other criteria: the animation of pulling out and the animation of twisting. These two parameters play a role in choosing a skin, because there are already more than 19 different variations, and you need to divide them somehow apart from the visual appearance.
The mechanics of playing with a knife are what make CS more fun and dynamic. And the appearance of skins has turned knives into a fashion accessory that can be compared to an expensive watch:
- The rarity of the knife: the smaller the number of copies of a particular knife, the higher its value;
- Skin pattern: the pattern is the web each knife has, and its float - is the total amount of defects on the skin. The more disfigurements the knife has, the larger the float;
- Hardening quality: there's another clear point of view: Factory New hardening looks much better than Battle Scared.
