fridge's knife tier list (aka. The Best And Worst Knives In The Game)
By fridge
Rating knives by their skins, defaults, animations, etc.
I have really good opinions. You should take this tier list seriously and use it to judge whether or not to sell your current.

Bowie Knife
If you use this knife it's because you love to brag about size. It's clean, pointy, and LARGE. When you pay for a skin on the Bowie, you're paying for the full skin. You provide for your family, and at a decent price too (avg per skin) compared to others. Pat yourself on the back! You win.

M9 Bayonet
There is not a SINGLE skin that looks bad on this knife, and it's the only knife where this is the case. Any float, even the Scorched Battle-Scarred. Its pullout is SEXY, the knife itself looks extremely testosterone-pilled chadjak'd and it's just. SEXY.
A Tiers
Karambit
Only knife where I think the default looks the best. It's a clean, a classic, even iconic, but it belongs in A tier because every other skin on this knife feels inferior to the vanilla. Could've also done something better with the inspect, like done with the Talon.

Kukri Knife
Call me crazy, but I really like this knife's animations. All of them are so unique, especially the right click attack. The knife itself looks really good too. My only problem is that it covers quite a lot of the screen, but it's still pretty regardless.

Falchion Knife
Super nice knife. Great size, good animations, looks beautiful on most skins. Probably the #1 A-tier.
B Tiers
Ursus Knife

I personally really like the inspect animation for this. It's also a super simple knife, with few straight edges and I LOVE simplicity. Certain skins also show up on this knife quite nicely. It's the perfect middle-tier knife. Not too bad, not absolutely amazing.

Nomad Knife
Nice animations, alright looking knife. Animations are what push it up to the B tier. I also like the skins where the handle stays its vanilla colour.

Stiletto Knife
It's clean and the animations are really cool. It looks like you'd cut cheese with it. I've placed it here because I don't know what it is, but something tells me A is too high for it. I wouldn't choose a stiletto to be honest, when the other higher tiers feel better.

Talon Knife
Karambit better, but this is still good. I like the ivory handle, and the inspect is cool. Bright coloured skins look good.

Huntsman Knife
♥♥♥♥ PATTERN HUNTSMAN WAS
Nice size blade, looks great with skins, no complaints but I'd choose others.
C Tiers
Gut Knife
The Gut Knife is a pretty nice budget one. The vanilla looks crap but with certain skins like Dopplers or Case Hardened, it looks nice. I'm a fan of it, but I'd never buy it. If someone had a nice float, nice skin Gut Knife I'd respect it.

Bayonet
The M9 Bayonet's down-syndrome brother. It looks like a toy and feels like one. It's not terrible, but why go for it when the M9 exists??

Skeleton Knife
I sleep. The only interesting thing about it is the one inspect animation, but it only does it SOMETIMES. ZZZZZZZZZZ

Paracord Knife
It has a nice, long blade and I like the handle. The holes in the blade just ruin it for me. That's 10% less skin for a non-existent aesthetic. Could've been a B tier otherwise.

Navaja Knife
Contrary to popular belief, it's not ugly. Just boring. I wouldn't spit on you for using it, but I also wouldn't say anything if you did period.
D Tiers
Butterfly Knife
This is THE single most overrated knife in the game. I seriously don't get it. Is it because of the animation? Just get a Reddit Stories YouTube video playing in the background while you play the game, because unlike a Butterfly Knife, it's a much cheaper sensory stim.
Buy a fidget spinner or go play Valorant.

Flip Knife
Extremely boring and ugly. Should've stayed a default. You can barely even see the knife flip animation, and the inspect bores me to death. Would rather go for a default knife.

Shadow Daggers
If you like this knife it's because you're compensating for the fact you cant afford any others, and made a poor financial transation.

Classic Knife
This knife is a relic of a past, and the past looked kinda terrible. If you use this, it's time to let go bro.

Survival Knife
Same problem with the Paracord (or whatever the one with holes is called) but it looks far worse. Go rush Bin.

Conclusion
If you disagree, you're wrong. If I missed any knives, they don't exist.
