Gut Knife | Ultraviolet

★ Gut Knife | Ultraviolet is a CS2 knife skin with a charcoal-black blade and a solid purple handle. Its hooked blade profile and bright metallic cutting edge give the simple color scheme a distinctive outline. The finish suits black-and-purple loadouts and players who prefer clean surfaces without artwork. It comes in every exterior from Factory New to Battle-Scarred, with standard and StatTrak™ versions available.

Description

★ Gut Knife | Ultraviolet is a CS2 melee weapon skin built around the contrast between a dark blade and a purple grip. Its Ultraviolet finish uses the Solid Color style rather than an illustrated or patterned design. The Gut Knife's hooked cutout remains prominent, while short serrations add detail along the spine. A thin metallic line follows the curved cutting edge, separating it visually from the charcoal-black blade. The handle provides the main color accent, with exposed dark metal keeping the surrounding hardware understated. This combination suits players assembling a coordinated purple inventory or looking for a knife without decorative graphics. Buyers can compare Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred copies according to their preferred condition. Standard and StatTrak™ options add another choice, making exterior, exact float, and counter status useful listing details.

History and Origin

The knife debuted on January 8, 2015, alongside the Chroma Case. Its release belonged to the update titled "Chroma Case Skins", establishing the original route for obtaining the finish. Valve created the skin rather than a community designer. Beyond its original case, it is also available from the Chroma 2 Case and Chroma 3 Case. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, all these source cases are confirmed to receive no new drops. Existing cases can still be purchased on the market and opened, so their retirement did not remove the opening route. Today, buyers can also acquire an existing knife through marketplace listings or player trades instead of relying on a case result.

Finish Style

Ultraviolet separates the weapon's parts into solid black and purple surfaces, keeping the treatment simple rather than ornamental. The blade appears dark charcoal-black across its broad face. A thin, bright metallic line traces the curved cutting edge and provides a sharp contrast against that dark surface. Near the tip, the hooked cutout interrupts the outline, with short serrations visible farther along the spine. The handle is solid purple, with lighter highlights following its curved shape. Three dark circular fasteners remain visible across the grip, adding hardware detail without introducing another bold color. Dark metal also surrounds the handle and continues to the exposed butt, where a circular hole completes the silhouette. With no visible lettering, artwork, or patterned decoration, the finish draws attention to the knife's shape and contrasting parts.

Float Value

The float value of ★ Gut Knife | Ultraviolet ranges from 0.06 to 0.80. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred, so none of those condition categories is excluded. Standard and StatTrak™ versions are available, while no Souvenir version exists; version availability is separate from the cosmetic condition represented by float and exterior.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Gut Knife | Ultraviolet has the Covert rarity grade. Its chance of appearing from the Chroma Case is 0.0085%, and that figure should not be treated as a stated probability for its other source cases. Despite that opening probability, existing standard and StatTrak™ copies can be acquired directly through marketplace purchases or trades.

Why it’s Popular:

• Purple handle contrasts clearly with the charcoal-black blade

• Simple surfaces suit coordinated black-and-purple loadouts

• Hooked blade profile gives the finish a distinctive outline

• Standard and StatTrak™ versions offer different collecting options

Price Range

The live ★ Gut Knife | Ultraviolet price range is $44.83 to $559.23, covering the item as a whole. Exterior and version differences matter, so comparisons are most useful between listings with matching condition categories and counter status. An exterior label does not specify the exact float value, making that detail worth checking when choosing between otherwise similar copies. StatTrak™ versions should be compared separately from standard knives rather than assumed to carry the same price. Before deciding to buy, compare the displayed CS2 skin price with the complete listing instead of treating either overall bound as a variant-specific quote.

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

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy ★ Gut Knife | Ultraviolet directly through an available Steam Community Market listing instead of attempting a case opening. Check the listed exterior and whether the item is standard or StatTrak™ before purchasing. Direct purchase selects an existing copy rather than creating a new knife through an opening.

4. Trade with Other Players

The knife can also be obtained through a trade with another player who owns a copy. Compare its exterior, exact float, and standard or StatTrak™ status with the items offered in exchange. Verify the actual item in the trade rather than relying only on the finish name.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Its source cases no longer receive new drops, but opening existing cases can still add knives to circulation. Players looking to buy, sell, or trade should compare exact floats within the same exterior and separate standard copies from StatTrak™ versions. Demand and long-term price trends are not established, so reduced case replenishment alone does not demonstrate that resale prices will rise.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired source cases limit fresh case supply

• Distinct purple handle and charcoal-black blade

• StatTrak™ versions offer a separate collecting option

• Solid Color styling suits coordinated black-and-purple loadouts

The investment rating is medium: retired source cases support the supply argument, but there is no established demand trend to justify a stronger verdict. The main risk is that existing case openings can add knives without a corresponding increase in buyer demand. It is a cosmetic purchase with uncertain resale prospects, not a dependable short-term flip.
