What makes the Falchion Knife stand out

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.

All 24 Falchion Knife finishes ranked by price

Premium ($150–$1,800+)

  • Doppler ($180–$280 standard; Sapphire ~$1,200–$1,800; Ruby ~$1,000–$1,500) — Affordable Dopplers on a wide blade. Phase 2 (pink) leads demand. The cleaver shape shows the Doppler color shift in broad, clean bands.
  • Fade ($175–$250) — Budget Fade on a distinctive blade shape. Full 100% fade commands ~$250. The wide blade shows the gradient effectively.
  • Gamma Doppler ($155–$220; Emerald ~$600–$1,200) — Four phases plus Emerald. Among the cheapest Emerald knives in CS2.
  • Marble Fade ($140–$200) — Fire and ice patterns at ~$140 — cheaper than Marble Fade on almost any other model.
  • Slaughter ($130–$190) — The flat, wide blade is excellent for Slaughter patterns. Diamond and phoenix patterns show in full detail.
  • Crimson Web ($90–$1,000+) — Restricted minimum float. FN copies with centered webs are rare and valuable.

Mid-range ($70–$150)

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.

How float and pattern affect Falchion Knife prices

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%).
