So I've come to the point where I'm enjoying the game quite a lot and I can manage to drop 30 kills fairly consistently, I want to buy a knife with a budget of 135 dollars; I'm not too aware of what's the 'best' knife but I'm sure there's a good knife I could get for 135 USD. Please drop your recommendations down below, I will update once I have bought. Thanks!

Go on CsIsnpect. Look at all knifes in your price range ingame and then decide

Keep the money.

Instead google mesachanger or vanity cheats and get yourself a full on inventory changer for 4 euros a month OR 50 euros for lifetime.

You’d be stupid to pay valve money in this economy. Feed yourself, don’t be feeding others homie.

And than you'll get a free vacban on top if it, nice!

Why not a cheap combo? Kukri Vanilla + Specialist Buckshot gloves.

If you want something shiny, Shadow Daggers Gamma Doppler in combo with the Buckshot gloves will also work.

These prices assume you buy from a 3rd party marketplace.

Use cs2inspects.com and their servers to check out different combos.

Go to csfloat
And you can inspect whichever knife you want to buy on their server.

Some options i may suggest according to your budget.

1. Falchion tiger tooth.
2. Paracord Marble Fade.
3. Paracord Fade.
4. Bowie Tiger tooth.
5. Survival Fade & Marble Fade.
6. Bayonet Bright water.
7. Flip Black Laminate
8. Kukri Slaughter
9. Falchion Lore and autotronic.
10. Nomad Vanilla

There is no 'best' knife, only what you like and prefer.

Spend some time on the inspect server, get a feel of the animations and knife and buy whatever feels right to you.

Just don't buy Stattrak and well-worn knives.
They are hard to sell.

I mean, I do want a nice combo. But I had kukri before and It was a nice knife but I don't want the same again, I want to experiment. From the other comments I may go for falchion or stiletto or maybe even a talon if i can get more money

I do like all of your suggestions its just hard to finalise

Go to csfloat and find your preferred knife or knife+glove combo then inspect them on the csfloat inspect server, it's hard to decide unless you try them in-game

Its very simple

Pick which knife you like the most out of the price range you can afford.

Well i have a lovely huntsman freehand on csfloat with a good float and great pattern for $118, just sayin'

Best to just set csfloat price range from 80-max budget and search for knives.

It shows many good looking knives most with good skins
