The Falchion Knife is a wide, cleaver-style blade with a rare fidget-spin inspect animation that has earned it a quiet following in CS2. Released in 2015, it sits in the budget tier alongside the Gut Knife and Huntsman, offering premium finishes like Doppler and Fade at accessible prices. There are 24 Falchion Knife skins, with prices starting at around $59 for a Forest DDPAT in Battle-Scarred and reaching past $1,800 for a Doppler Sapphire in Factory New.
This page lists every Falchion Knife finish with real-time prices, float values and drop sources. Below is a full breakdown by price tier, case sources, and the best picks at every budget.
Valve released the Falchion Knife in May 2015 with the Falchion Case. Its blade design resembles a medieval cleaver — wide, flat and slightly curved. The draw animation is a straightforward pull, but the inspect animation hides a surprise: there is roughly a 1-in-10 chance that the player flicks the knife into the air and catches it, similar to a coin flip. This rare animation is unique to the Falchion Knife and has made it a cult favorite among players who enjoy fidgeting between rounds.
Pricing sits between the cheapest knives (Navaja ~$41, Shadow Daggers ~$36) and mid-range models (Flip Knife ~$100, Bayonet ~$112). A Falchion Fade at ~$175 is cheaper than a Flip Knife Fade (~$347) or a Bayonet Fade (~$378), making it strong value for players who prioritize finish over model prestige.
Tiger Tooth ($115–$150), Case Hardened ($100–$250; blue gems $400–$2,000+), Autotronic ($85–$160), Lore ($80–$160), Blue Steel ($80–$130), Damascus Steel ($72–$90), Night ($72–$300+), Ultraviolet ($68–$200), Black Laminate ($72–$100), Bright Water ($68–$85), and Freehand ($72–$90). Tiger Tooth at ~$115 is a reliable mid-range pick.
Entry-level Falchion Knives: Forest DDPAT (~$59 BS), Safari Mesh (~$62 BS), Boreal Forest (~$60 BS), Scorched (~$63 BS), Urban Masked (~$65 BS), Stained (~$70 BS), and Rust Coat (~$68 BS). Affordable enough to be a solid first knife, with the bonus of the rare fidget inspect.

Good case availability keeps supply steady. The Falchion Case, which introduced this knife, is one of the cheaper older cases on the Steam Market.
Float value follows standard tiers. The Falchion's wide, flat blade shows wear clearly — particularly noticeable on the spine and edge. Crimson Web and Night have restricted minimum floats that make FN copies scarce.
Pattern seed matters on the usual suspects: Case Hardened (the wide blade shows good blue coverage on blue gems, $400–2,000+), Fade (100% vs 80% = ~$60 gap), Marble Fade (fire and ice = 1.5x), and Slaughter (the flat surface is ideal for centered patterns, +20–40%).
Prices range from ~$59 (Forest DDPAT BS) to over $1,800 (Doppler Sapphire FN). Most Falchion Knives trade between $65 and $200.
Forest DDPAT in Battle-Scarred at approximately $59. Boreal Forest BS (~$60) and Safari Mesh BS (~$62) are close.
Yes. There is roughly a 1-in-10 chance that the inspect animation shows the player flicking the knife into the air and catching it, like a coin flip. This rare fidget animation is unique to the Falchion Knife.
Yes, especially for players who value unique animations. The rare inspect sets it apart from other budget knives. Premium finishes (Doppler, Fade) are available at lower prices than comparable models.
Multiple cases including the Falchion Case, Chroma cases (for Doppler/Marble Fade), and Gamma cases (for Gamma Doppler/Lore). Wide availability keeps prices accessible.
