What makes the Skeleton Knife unique

Released in November 2019 with the Shattered Web update, the Skeleton Knife has cutouts in the steel that create a layered visual effect on finishes. Its 50/50 rare inspect triggers every other time, giving it a fidget-toy quality. The dual-hand draw animation is heavier than standard single-hand draws.

The Skeleton Knife drops from 2 cases: the Shattered Web Case (2019) with the original 12 finishes, and the Fever Case (2024) which added the 6 Chroma finishes (Doppler, Fade, Marble Fade, Tiger Tooth, Damascus Steel, Ultraviolet).

All 18 finishes

Chroma finishes (Fever Case, 2024)

  • Doppler ($300–$500+). Skeleton cutouts create a unique visual break in Doppler phases.
  • Fade ($280–$400). Gradient visible through the cutouts.
  • Marble Fade ($250–$380). Fire and ice through skeletonized steel.
  • Tiger Tooth ($200–$280). Gold through the cutouts.
  • Damascus Steel ($150–$200). Wavy metallic.
  • Ultraviolet ($140–$250). Dark purple through cutouts.
