Now, skins and in-game items are a common thing that is common to every game. Although CS2 was not the first shooter to introduce skins for weapons, with their appearance, the game acquired some diversity. Knives have become especially valuable skins in Counter-Strike Source 2. That is precisely what we will observe here.

How To Test Knives In CS2
In CS2, it is possible to inspect objects without having them in your inventory, including knives. There are special console commands that allow the player to inspect and play with a particular knife. Unfortunately, only the basic version of the item is available (without coloring), but nevertheless, you can evaluate the unique inspection animations and take a closer look before purchasing.
To conduct the inspection, you must run a local server with custom mode. Both cards from the workshop and ordinary ones that are in the gaming pool are suitable.
How To Set Up A Custom Game In CS2
To start a custom game, select a map. Any map will be suitable for a local server, both with and without bots. For a clear example, let’s take any official card from the pool, for example, Mirage.
After loading the map, remove all bots using the bot_kick console command. Also, type sv_cheats true into the console to allow future changes. Then just copy this list of commands and paste it into the console:
mp_roundtime_defuse 60;mp_roundtime_hostage 60;mp_roundtime 60;mp_restartgame 1
With their help, the game will restart the round, and now it will last longer so that you can start testing knives.
CS2 Knife Commands List
Each knife in the game has its own console command, but first, you need to enter mp_drop_knife_enable true into the console, otherwise, you will not be able to pick up a knife for testing. That is necessary because the knife will be added to the map an exchange for the dropped one. The main thing here is that you need to aim at the dropped knife model and only then type in the command.
Here are the list of all commands to spawn the knife at CS2:
| Bayonet knife | subclass_change 500 |
| Bowie knife | subclass_change 514 |
| Butterfly knife | subclass_change 515 |
| Falchion knife | subclass_change 512 |
| Flip knife | subclass_change 505 |
| Gut knife | subclass_change 506 |
| Huntsman knife | subclass_change 509 |
| Karambit knife | subclass_change 507 |
| M9 Bayonet knife | subclass_change 508 |
| Navaja knife | subclass_change 520 |
| Nomad knife | subclass_change 521 |
| Paracord knife | subclass_change 517 |
| Shadow Daggers knife | subclass_change 516 |
| Skeleton knife | subclass_change 525 |
| Stiletto knife | subclass_change 522 |
| Survival knife | subclass_change 518 |
| Talon knife | subclass_change 523 |
| Ursus knife | subclass_change 519 |
All these commands must be typed exactly as in the example above. After entering the knife command, the selected weapon will replace the knife you are watching at. Throw away your current knife, type another command, and pick up the new knife.
Wrapping Up!
After a successfully played round, everyone wants to twirl a beautiful skin for a knife in their hands. Before choosing which one to buy, we advise you to look at and test all the knives because you cannot be sure until you try everything. You will only spend a few minutes, but you will definitely be sure that you did not make a mistake!
