Flip Knife | Ultraviolet

★ Flip Knife | Ultraviolet is a CS2 knife skin pairing a charcoal-black blade with a purple handle. Its Solid Color finish keeps the appearance restrained, with textured grip details rather than artwork or lettering. The palette suits players building a dark loadout with a purple accent. It comes in exteriors from Factory New through Battle-Scarred, with standard and StatTrak™ versions available.

Description

★ Flip Knife | Ultraviolet brings a black-and-purple Solid Color finish to the Flip Knife in CS2. Its back-swept blade ends in a sharp point, giving the dark blade a curved silhouette. The purple handle supplies the main color contrast without introducing a printed pattern. Recessed grooves, dark hardware, and a fine grip texture add detail to the otherwise simple color blocks. This finish suits players who prefer a restrained knife design over visible artwork or lettering. Professional ownership includes DANK1NG and gxx-, although ownership alone does not establish how quickly a listing will sell. Buyers can choose standard or StatTrak versions and compare the full set of available exterior grades. For an individual copy, its float value and visible condition matter alongside its asking price and version.

History and Origin

★ Flip Knife | Ultraviolet made its CS:GO debut on January 8, 2015. It arrived in the Chroma Case Skins update alongside the Chroma Case. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. The original Chroma Case remains an acquisition route because existing cases can still be purchased and opened. The Chroma 2 Case and Chroma 3 Case also contain this knife finish. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, none of these cases drops, so openings depend on cases already in circulation. The finished skin can also be acquired directly through marketplace purchases or player-to-player trades, without opening a case.

Finish Style

The Solid Color finish uses individually spray-painted components rather than a printed illustration. The blade has a dark charcoal-black surface that defines the knife's main silhouette. Lighter gray highlights run along the curved edge and bevel, outlining the blade against its darker face. A short row of serrations near the handle introduces small, bright-edged details. The purple handle has a fine surface texture that contrasts with the blade's broad dark area. Long recessed grooves give the grip a lengthwise structure without adding visible lettering or decorative artwork. Dark screws and an elongated dark inset break up the purple handle while staying within the restrained palette. Together, these details create a clear separation between the dark curved blade and the colored grip, keeping the design focused on shape and contrast.

Float Value

The float value of ★ Flip Knife | Ultraviolet ranges from 0.06 to 0.80. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. Standard and StatTrak versions are available, but there is no Souvenir version; these options are separate from an individual knife's exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Flip Knife | Ultraviolet has the Covert rarity grade. Its drop chance from the Chroma Case is 0.0085%, making that case route a low-probability way to obtain this exact finish. It remains available through existing cases, marketplace purchases, and trades, even though its source cases no longer drop.

Why it’s Popular:

• Charcoal-black blade and purple handle create a clear color contrast

• Restrained design without visible artwork or lettering

• Textured grip, recessed grooves, and dark hardware add subtle detail

• Standard and StatTrak options suit different buying preferences

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for ★ Flip Knife | Ultraviolet is $110.98 to $1,273.76. These bounds cover the skin as a whole, not a fixed exterior or StatTrak variant. Condition and version distinguish the listings, so the broad range does not describe the asking price of every copy. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred examples within their respective standard or StatTrak categories. Check each knife's exact float value and visible finish before deciding whether an individual listing fits the intended loadout and budget.

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 a Weapon Case

Open a Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, or Chroma 3 Case for a chance at this knife. The Chroma Case chance is 0.0085%, so opening it does not ensure this particular finish. These cases no longer drop, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy ★ Flip Knife | Ultraviolet directly through a listing on the Steam Community Market. This route allows a buyer to select a listed exterior and standard or StatTrak version instead of relying on a case result.

4. Trade with Other Players

A player-to-player trade offers another route to obtain the knife without opening a case. Before accepting, verify the exact item, exterior, float value, and StatTrak status of the offered copy.

Trading and Investment Considerations

None of its source cases receives new drops, so every opening consumes existing case supply while potentially adding another knife to circulation. Short-term resale prospects remain uncertain without an established sales-volume or price-history trend. When buying, selling, or trading, compare float, exterior, StatTrak status, and current listings rather than assuming every Ultraviolet copy belongs in the same price tier.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Source cases are no longer replenished by drops

• Verified ownership by DANK1NG and gxx-

• Distinctive black-and-purple Solid Color design

• Standard and StatTrak versions offer separate buying options

The investment rating is medium: retired source cases and professional ownership provide reasons to hold, but do not establish rising demand. The main risk is expecting appreciation from reduced case replenishment while existing cases can still produce more knives.
