SHOULD I BUY A KNIFE?
Hi. If you are still debating with yourself on whether or not you should buy a CSGO knife, welp, buddy, in my opinion, you should. Especially if you're a knife virgin, meaning you haven't had any knives before.
Why? Well, I would like to stress that this is my personal opinion. Firstly, if you're a knife virgin, buying or getting your first knife is an exciting experience. I remember buying my first knife which was a field tested Gut Knife Lore. I have been aiming for the knife for weeks and once I got it, I felt very good. Inspecting it in game made me smile like an idiot.
Many people argue that you should not buy knives because you hardly ever use it in game. Heh, that's bullshit. I use my knives all the time. As in the previous post, I mentioned that I play a lot of Deathmatch. So, in Deathmatch, I love to use my knives. Because there are many players in a Deathmatch game, people would be busy paying attention to their surrounding and engaging multiple enemies at the same time. That's why it's easy to kill with a stab to their backs. While they're busy fighting other enemies, I run towards them and stab them in the back. Getting a knife kill is always an exhilarating and nerve racking experience for me.
Besides that, yeah, I rarely kill with knives in Competitive mode. But inspecting my beautiful knives gives me warm and happy feeling. When I rush, I would draw out the knives so that I can go faster and that would give me a few seconds to admire my beautiful knives. It's like having a beautiful girlfriend. Of course you would stare at her and say to yourself, "Damn, I'm so blessed". The same applies to your knives haha.
No, I don't own knives to show off to people. I buy knives for me and not to impress other people or to show how rich I am. Those knives I own are for my own satisfaction.
WHAT KNIVES SHOULD I GET?
Again, this is my personal opinion.
What knives should you get? Well, it's up to you. Different people have different tastes. Besides it also depends on your budget.
The cheapest knives are around USD 35 on Bitskins which is the site I trust the most to buy skins. However, they look like shit. If you want some decent looking knives, you should have a budget of around USD 50. Here are some examples of decent looking knives that are 50 dollars and below being sold on Bitskins.
Yeah I know many dislike the rust coat knives. But in my opinion, they sort of look bad ass. When buying rust coat knives, you would want to get the battle scarred ones because they would be more rusted.
If the rust coat knives are not to your liking, I would recommend the stained knives. Stained knives also look good battle scarred because the blades would be darker which I think is awesome.
These bad boys are also awesome to get. I particularly love the Huntsman knives because they're big and they look mean. The ones above are well worn but if you're patient enough to browse through Bitskins everyday, sometimes there are also field tested ones that are sold for under 50 dollars.
I know many people dislike gut knives for reasons I don't quite understand. But I personally love the gut knives as they seem unique and for under 50 dollars, I think these two are awesome to get. The vanilla gut knife is rather interesting because it looks clean and like a default knife but it's not a default knife. You know what I'm saying? The black laminate also looks rather clean and bad ass. The battle scarred looks rather similar to the factory new and cost way less.
Okay, if you don't like any of the above, or you want more colorful knives, you must be willing to spend more money. Here are some suggestions on knives that are 75 dollars and below.
This is actually the knife I am using currently. It is my dream to get a Huntsman Tiger Tooth or M9 Bayonet Tiger Tooth but I don't have too much money to spare so I got myself the next best thing. Seriously, I love this one. Seeing this knife in game just makes me smile because it looks great.
If you're interested in dopplers, I would recommend this one. I prefer the phase 4 as it is blue and rather stands out more than other phases.
If you prefer green over blue, then the gamma doppler would be for you.
Want a bad ass looking StatTrak knife? Well, you should buy this one. It looks good and you can keep track of how many people you kill using this bad boy.
Autotronic knives are hands down uniquely bad ass and they look the same no matter what the condition is.
As mentioned in the early paragraphs, my first knife was the gut knife lore and I loved it so much. It looks so unique and awesome.
Wow, look at these bad boys. The Huntsman Crimson Web field tested is actually the second knife I bought after the Gut Knife Lore and I got many compliments in game for flashing it around. It looks like a blood covered knife.
Alright, so as you can see, 75 dollars would earn you knives that are more colorful. Of course, the more money you can spend, the nicer the knives you can get.
As I mentioned, I bought the knives not to show off to other people. I bought them because I want to admire them during game. Therefore, I really took my time to research the knives before buying.
Youtube has been a great help when it comes to making decision on which knives to buy. I just type the knives' names and there are tones of videos showcasing the knives.
After I finally determined which knives I wanted to buy, I spend more time browsing through Bitskins and other CSGO market places like csgoshop to look for the lowest prices.
My point is, don't listen too much about what people have to say. Choose the knives that YOU think look best because different people have different tastes. As you can see above, I don't prefer the falchion knives, flip knives and shadow daggers. Even though there are many interesting design for falchion knives. flip knives and shadow daggers, I would prefer to get myself the gut knives.
Besides that, don't rush. Take your time to browse through the market place so you would have the best deal. If you like simple designs with dull or dark colors, 50 dollars is enough for you to get a decent knife. But if you prefer to own a colorful one, 75 dollars is the minimum amount.
WHAT IF I CAN'T AFFORD A KNIFE?
If you can't afford to save up some money or ask from your parents to buy CSGO knives, I would suggest you to try GameTame. Earn points by answering surveys and collect enough points to buy a knife. Yes, it would take a long time. I am talking about months of completing surveys! But it's better than nothing, right? If you're determined enough, you would be able to do it!
I would not recommend gambling or opening cases. If you can't afford to buy a knife, that means you're a poor fellow and should not rely on luck. You would probably end up losing all your money rather than getting a knife.
BEWARE OF SCAMS!
You should not trade with strangers. If some dude comes to you and say hey, wanna buy my knife? Just block him.
I have been using Bitskins to buy most of my skins and I can guarantee that it's a trustworthy site. However, there is still risks in using it. Therefore, follow the instructions carefully when buying skins on the site. Before you accept the trade offers, check the bots and make sure that they are in the official Bitskins Steam group.
Bitskins is also a cool site because you can cash out your skins through Paypal. So don't try to sell your skins to strangers. It is a lot safer to use this site.
Besides Bitskins, I also bought some of my skins on csgoshop. So far, this site is good. The disadvantage is the number of skins on sale on csgoshop is far inferior than Bitskins.
Some scammers would try to offer you an interesting deal like they want to trade your knife with a better, more expensive knife. Don't fall for it. They would scam the hell out of you. Ignore and block.
Don't go into too many sites that promise free 25 dollars or 50 dollars. Those are also scams. Once you log in using Steam, they would steal your information and your skins. Just stay on Bitskins, okay?
I found that csmoney is rather scammy. After logging in to the site, my Steam account was sort of hijacked. When I noticed something is wrong, I immediately changed my password.
The safest place to buy skins? Of course at the Steam Community Market. However, if you compare the prices, you would see that the skins on Bitskins are far cheaper than the Steam Community Market.
So, yeah, that's about it. To conclude, if you want to buy a knife, buy the one that you yourself like the most because you would be using it for a long time. Don't mind what other people think. What's important is you like the knife. Then, buy your knife on Bitskins because it can be trusted and the prices are lower than other alternatives.
Cheers.
