Although Counter Strike is all about rifles, pistols and shotguns, sometimes it’s best to just go back to basics and go into battle with good old melee weapons. That’s when knives come in handy, and there’s a reason the game offers so many of them. Today we’ll talk about one of our favorites, the infamous Nomad knife.

You may be thinking to yourself: But it is so basic!

But wait until you see the 8 best CSGO (CS2) Nomad knife skins, because we are sure they will change your mind.

What Do You Need to Know About the Nomad Knife

It must be said that all CS2 knives provide the same capabilities as the classic default knife, so no matter which one you choose, it won’t affect how you perform in battle. BUT, what will have an impact is how awesome you look during combat (which is extremely important).

Nomad Knife looks a bit like a classic extendable pocket knife, which is very easy to explain, since it was modeled after the Strider 3CR13, a classic camping knife. Nevertheless, it will work great not only for making a bonfire but also work great for defeating enemies in Counter Strike 2. Therefore, don’t let its simple appearance fool you. Equipped with composite handle inserts and a wide, sturdy blade, this knife will perform well in virtually any situation (plus it has a cool animation too!).

Fade knife skins are familiar to virtually every member of the Counter Strike community.

Nomad Knife Case Hardened

Do you like to stand out in CS2 maps? If so, this skin is for you. Its beautiful exterior has been color-hardened by using charcoal at high temperatures, resulting in a beautiful shimmering effect (especially if you see it in Source 2 lighting). Of course, such quality goes hand in hand with huge popularity, and thus with a hefty price tag. Nevertheless, if you have the necessary funds, we think this knife finish is definitely worth looking into.
