The Best Paracord Knife Skins (Top 10)

Despite being added nearly 5-years ago, the Paracord Knife is one of the most recent additions to CSGO/CS2. It’s visually quite unique as the knife features a rope-wrapped handle and a survival knife-style blade, based on the Linton Cutlery Seal tactical knives. The knife is an often overlooked option when it comes to CSGO/CS2 knives, so in this article, we want to highlight some of its best variations for players looking to stand out in the world of CS skins. Here are our top 10 picks for Paracord Knives in CSGO/CS2.

Note: This list is not in any particular order, it’s simply a selection of our favorite Paracord Knives.

First and foremost we want to give a spot to the Paracord Knife Vanilla. The Vanilla finish is an absolute classic for a reason and provides a clean look to CSGO/CS2 inventory. For all the purists out there, this one is the choice for you.

Next up is the Paracord Knife Blue Steel in Factory New (FN) condition. This knife is a beauty in almost all conditions, due to the skin simply going darker as the wear grows worse. However, we still prefer the FN condition as it’s the brightest and best look for the knife.

The Paracord Knife Boreal Forest in Minimal Wear (MW) condition is a fantastic budget option that provides a ton of color to any inventory with its green military look. We chose to highlight the MW condition of the skin, due to its great value for a fantastic-looking knife, without much visible damage to the skin’s wear. A worthy Paracord Knife option for any CSGO/CS2 player.

We’re going with a red theme for our next knife choice. Feast your eyes on the beautiful Paracord Knife Slaughter in FN condition. The Slaughter skin remains a fan favorite, and we can see why. The knife features a beautiful pattern-based look and provides a wonderful choice for players looking for a red-themed inventory with a Paracord Knife for CSGO/CS2. 

The Paracord Knife Stained in FN condition is another great budget pick when it comes to Paracord Knives in CSGO/CS2. The knife features a dark silver look, with unique pattern-based stains on the blade. This is a knife that will fit perfectly into any inventory.

If you’re an old-school CS player, you’re definitely going to want to check out the Paracord Knife Case Hardened. This skin has achieved legendary status for its incredible pattern variety and rare blue gem variations and continues to be one of the most desired skin finishes out there. If you’re looking for a Paracord Knife in CSGO/CS2 that stands out, this is the one. 

Going back to budget knives, we want to showcase the Urban Masked in MW condition. This knife is a wonderful choice for a white-themed inventory, with a military-style white and grey gradient look, almost like it’s been dragged through the snow. The best thing about this skin is how the rope has also been painted to match the blade, creating a really cohesive look.

Our final budget option on the list is the Paracord Knife Night Stripe, also in MW condition. The Night Stripe is a minimalistic midnight-themed skin for the knife, which also covers the handle part of the knife. If you want to keep your knife choice low-key, then the Paracord Knife Night Stripe might be the best choice for you.

Here’s another fantastic choice if you’re looking for a red Paracord Knife. The Paracord Knife Crimson Web is one of the most desired Paracord Knives on the market. We chose to highlight the MW version in this list, as the FN version is quite rare and will run you a cool $1800, as opposed to the more affordable $250 for the MW version. If you’ve got the cash to spend and want to own arguably the most rare Paracord Knife on the market, feel free to opt for the FN version instead.

Introducing the holy grail of Paracord Knives, our last entry is the Paracord Knife Fade in FN condition. We’ve gone with the FN version as it’s less worn and is still cheaper than the MW condition due to its more limited availability. If you decide to pick one up, make sure to check the fade %. For players new to CS skins, fade %  is essentially how much of the blade is colored. This is important as it will affect its overall value, meaning you may need to overpay slightly if you want the best fade. Overall, the Fade is a great choice for players who want a vibrant, and colorful Paracord Knife for their collection.
