The Phoenix Collection

All collections

The Phoenix Collection released in February 2014 with Operation Phoenix. It drops from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case and is led by the AWP Asiimov, one of the defining AWP skins in the game, with the hugely popular AK-47 Redline at Classified.

The case has left the drop pool. The AWP Asiimov and the AK Redline are two of the most traded skins in CS.

Skins by rarity

13 weapon finishes from Mil-Spec up to Covert, plus a knife behind the case.

  • Covert: AWP Asiimov and AUG Chameleon.
  • Classified: the AK-47 Redline, one of the most traded skins in the game, alongside the P90 Trigon and Nova Antique.
  • Restricted and Mil-Spec: MAC-10 Heat, USP-S Guardian, FAMAS Sergeant and more, from cents to a few dollars.

The rare item: AWP Asiimov

The AWP Asiimov is a black, white and orange sci-fi geometric design named after author Isaac Asimov, and it is one of the most recognisable skins in the whole game. Its 0.18 float floor means there is no Factory New or Minimal Wear, so low-float Field-Tested copies around €101 are the sweet spot, and the AUG Chameleon is the second Covert.

"The AWP Asiimov is a benchmark. Field-Tested is the bestseller, and the Redline sits right behind it."

Where the skins come from

Phoenix Collection skins drop from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, which holds a knife as its rare special. Compare live prices on our markets page.

Trade-up contracts

You can trade up ten same-rarity skins from this collection toward the tier above, and since 2025 you can craft a knife from five Covert items. The expected value is negative, so craft for the item, not the profit.

As a collector item

Phoenix has left the drop pool, so supply is fixed and the collection carries early-era interest. The AWP Asiimov and AK Redline anchor demand as two of the most-traded skins in CS. A strong long-term hold.
