Classic Knife | Night Stripe

★ Classic Knife | Night Stripe is a CS2 knife skin with a Spray-Paint finish and a muted blue-gray palette. Broad charcoal stripes cross the blade, while a bright silver cutting edge provides contrast. Its subdued appearance suits players building dark loadouts without colorful artwork. All exterior tiers are available, alongside standard and StatTrak™ versions.

Description

★ Classic Knife | Night Stripe brings a dark, tape-mask stripe finish to the Classic Knife in CS2. The design centers on uneven diagonal bands rather than lettering, illustrations or bright decorative accents. A silver edge follows the curved blade toward the tip, keeping the cutting profile visually distinct from the darker surface. This restrained combination suits players who prefer a knife that fits a muted loadout rather than introducing a contrasting color theme. The underlying knife construction pairs a Stellite cutting edge with titanium along the blade's cheek and spine. Its handle construction uses fossilized mastodon ivory held within a carbon-fiber pocket. Buyers can choose across the full exterior range and decide whether a standard copy or a StatTrak counter better fits their preferences. Comparing the exact float, exterior and version helps separate otherwise similar listings before a purchase or trade.

History and Origin

★ Classic Knife | Night Stripe was released on October 18, 2019, alongside the CS20 Case. Its introduction came through the CS20 Case Skins update, establishing the case as the finish's original opening source. Valve created the skin, rather than a community designer, so its origin is separate from community-authored finishes. The weapon model belongs to the Classic Knife design associated with the Counter-Strike series, while Night Stripe supplies its dark painted treatment. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, changing the availability of fresh CS20 Cases. As of October 9, 2026, the CS20 Case no longer drops, so new cases are not entering circulation through that route. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, meaning retirement has not removed the opening route. Today, buyers can also obtain an existing knife through marketplace listings or player trades without relying on a case result.

Finish Style

Night Stripe uses a Spray-Paint finish built around a tape-mask pattern and a dark, night-operations color scheme. The blade's main surface is blue-gray, crossed by broad charcoal bands with uneven diagonal boundaries. These stripes remain subdued, giving the blade variation without introducing a busy illustration or a sharply contrasting accent color. A bright silver cutting edge traces the curved side of the blade and continues toward its pointed tip. The guard and handle share the muted blue-gray palette, connecting the blade's appearance with the rest of the knife. Darker patches sit across the grip, where a raised diamond texture adds visible detail to the handle surface. Small circular fittings and a hole near the handle's end provide additional structural details within the otherwise restrained design. No visible lettering or artwork interrupts the finish, leaving the masked stripes, grip texture and silver edge as its defining visual features.

Float Value

The float value range for Night Stripe is 0.06 to 0.80. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, with no exterior tier missing. Standard and StatTrak versions are available; version availability is separate from a copy's cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Classic Knife | Night Stripe carries the Covert rarity grade. Its stated chance of appearing from a CS20 Case opening is 0.02%, making an opening a chance-based route rather than a direct purchase. Professional player NEO owns the skin.

Why it’s Popular:

• Muted blue-gray colors suit dark loadouts

• Charcoal stripes add detail without visible lettering

• Bright silver edge contrasts with the dark blade

• Standard and StatTrak versions offer different ownership options

Price Range

The live ★ Classic Knife | Night Stripe price range is $77.95 to $510.27. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a fixed exterior or version, so individual listings need their own comparison. Check the exterior label alongside the exact float rather than treating every copy within an exterior tier as identical. Standard and StatTrak listings should also be compared separately, without assuming the counter alone determines the asking price. Before deciding where to buy, sell or trade, compare current CS2 skin prices on Eneba Skins against the specific version and condition being considered.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the CS20 Case

Open a CS20 Case for a chance to receive Night Stripe, with a stated skin-specific chance of 0.02%. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. This route cannot guarantee the finish or the particular exterior sought.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy an existing copy through the Steam Community Market instead of depending on a case opening. Check whether the listing is standard or StatTrak and confirm its exterior before comparing the asking price. This route targets an available knife directly rather than a random opening result.

4. Trade with Other Players

Trade with another player who already owns the knife and agrees to exchange it. Inspect the offered copy's exact float, exterior and StatTrak status before accepting, since those details identify the version being exchanged. A player trade transfers an existing copy rather than creating one through a CS20 Case opening.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The CS20 Case no longer drops, but openings from existing stock can still add Night Stripe knives to circulation. Future resale demand and listing volume remain uncertain, so retired case status alone does not establish an easy short-term flip. Practical comparisons should focus on exterior, exact float and StatTrak status when buying, selling or arranging a trade.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case source limits fresh case supply

• Distinctive dark diagonal stripe design

• Standard and StatTrak versions provide choice

• Ownership by professional player NEO

The editorial investment rating is medium, balancing the retired case source, professional ownership and distinctive finish against uncertain resale demand. Existing CS20 Cases can still produce new copies, so the knife itself does not have a fixed supply. Its main risk is treating case retirement as proof of future price growth or a quick sale.
