How can I tell if a CS2 knife is overvalued?
I’m trying to buy my first CS2 knife but prices vary wildly even for the same knife type. I assume pattern, condition, and case matter, but how do I avoid overpaying or getting tricked? Are there detailed breakdowns somewhere?

Knife pricing in CS2 is one of the trickiest areas to navigate. A lot of it comes down to pattern, case rarity, and of course, condition. I’d recommend using cs2 wiki to look at the breakdowns by knife type and skin. They go into the origin of each knife skin — including which case it comes from, whether that case is still dropping, and what patterns are considered rare. Some knife patterns are massively overpriced just because of hype, while others are undervalued despite better float or finish. The wiki helped me understand what to actually look for, like fade percentage on Fade knives or how clean a Doppler phase is. It’s a great way to be smarter before dropping real money.
