Stiletto Knife

The ★ Stiletto Knife is a CS2 knife with an Italian-style switchblade design. A narrow silver-gray blade contrasts with a dark brown, orange-brown mottled handle and bright metal fittings.

Description

The ★ Stiletto Knife is a CS2 knife item defined by an Italian-style switchblade profile and a long, slender blade. Its silver-gray blade and mottled brown handle create a restrained appearance built around contrasting colors and visible hardware. Bright metal fittings at the handle ends stand out against the darker grip and connect visually with the blade. The knife's spring-loaded mechanism deploys the blade through a release catch, giving its mechanical details a functional context. Its look suits players who prefer subdued colors, compact handle details, and a clearly defined blade silhouette. Standard copies and StatTrak™ versions provide a choice of version. The pictured blade shape, handle markings, and metal fittings give buyers specific visual details to inspect alongside a listing's version. Matching the exact item name and version helps confirm that a purchase or trade contains the intended knife.

History and Origin

The ★ Stiletto Knife is associated with the Horizon Case, which first went on sale on June 7, 2018. The Danger Zone Case, another acquisition source, first sold on November 29, 2018. The Prisma Case followed with its first sale on March 5, 2019. The Prisma 2 Case first sold on March 24, 2020, adding another dated case source to the item's history. These case sale dates do not establish a separate release date for the knife, and its designer is not identified. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, the Horizon Case, Danger Zone Case, Prisma Case, and Prisma 2 Case no longer drop. Existing cases remain available to buy on the market and open, so retirement does not remove the case-opening route. Buyers can also obtain an existing knife through the Steam Community Market or a player-to-player trade without opening a case.

Finish Style

The ★ Stiletto Knife pairs a silver-gray blade with a dark brown handle in a restrained metal-and-brown finish. Its blade is long and narrow, with a bright cutting edge contrasting against darker shading along the upper face. An elongated recessed detail sits near the handle, adding depth to the otherwise plain blade surface. Irregular orange-brown mottling breaks up the handle's darker base color rather than forming a uniform motif. A dark strip follows the handle's lower edge, giving that side a distinct border. Silver-colored fittings cap the handle ends, while small curved guard pieces sit beside the base of the blade. Round pins and a larger circular button interrupt the handle surface with compact hardware details. A slim metal clip completes the design, keeping its visual emphasis on the switchblade construction rather than decorative artwork.

Float Value

A numeric float range cannot be confirmed for the ★ Stiletto Knife. Exterior availability should be checked on the individual listing rather than inferred from the blade's appearance. Standard and StatTrak™ versions are available; version availability is separate from cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

The ★ Stiletto Knife has Covert rarity. An exact opening probability for this knife is not confirmed, so its rarity grade should not be presented as an item-specific chance of receiving it. Its source cases no longer drop, but existing cases can still be opened and existing knives can be bought or traded.

Why it’s Popular:

• Long, narrow blade gives the knife a distinctive silhouette

• Mottled brown handle contrasts with bright silver-gray metal

• Visible pins, button, and clip add mechanical detail

• Standard and StatTrak™ versions offer different ownership options

Price Range

The live ★ Stiletto Knife price range is — to —. Standard and StatTrak™ listings are available, making version an important part of a CS2 skin price comparison. These bounds cover the whole item and should not be treated as fixed prices for either version. Where a listing displays float or exterior information, check it directly instead of assigning a wear tier from the inventory image. Compare the current asking price, exact item name, version, and displayed details before choosing a knife to buy or evaluating one to sell.

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

The ★ Stiletto Knife can be obtained by opening a Horizon Case, Danger Zone Case, Prisma Case, or Prisma 2 Case. These cases no longer drop, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. An opening does not guarantee this knife, and its exact item-specific odds are not confirmed.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Steam Community Market provides a direct purchasing route for the ★ Stiletto Knife without relying on a case opening. Compare Standard and StatTrak™ listings, checking the exact item name, current asking price, and displayed details before choosing a copy.

4. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trading is another route to the ★ Stiletto Knife when a counterpart has a copy available. Confirm whether the offered knife is Standard or StatTrak™, then inspect the trade contents before accepting. Current listings can help assess an exchange, but retired source cases alone do not establish what a fair trade should be.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The source cases no longer drop, so openings draw on existing case stocks rather than newly dropped cases. Demand trends and listing depth remain uncertain, which limits confidence in short-term resale performance. Traders can compare Standard and StatTrak™ versions, current asking prices, and the pictured item before deciding to buy, sell, or trade.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired source cases receive no new drops

• Distinctive narrow blade and mottled brown handle

• Standard and StatTrak™ versions offer ownership options

The ★ Stiletto Knife receives a medium investment rating: retired source cases support the supply argument, but demand and listing depth remain uncertain. The main risk is assuming retirement alone will drive appreciation, since existing cases can still produce knives and future resale prices are not assured.
