The logic seems simple: the CS20 Case contains two Covert skins \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/items\/awp-wildfire\">AWP | Wildfire<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/items\/famas-commemoration\">FAMAS | Commemoration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To save money, we recommend using the FAMAS | Commemoration, since it ranks as a less popular weapon than the AWP and costs almost four times less in Factory New condition. This means that if you use 5x FAMAS | Commemoration as your trade-up input, you will guarantee to receive a <a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/items\/classic-knife\">Classic Knife<\/a> in a random finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how it works step-by-step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Buy 5x FAMAS | Commemoration on the marketplace \u2013 they currently start around ~$35.88 each.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure all 5 skins share the exact same StatTrak\u2122 status \u2013 if you want a StatTrak\u2122 Classic Knife, all your inputs must have StatTrak\u2122.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The float value of your inputs determines the output&#8217;s float range \u2013 lower float inputs give you a better chance at a cleaner knife.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jump into the trade-up contract in CS2, load up the 5 skins, and confirm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So always check that all your skins have StatTrak\u2122 if you want a knife with it, because if even one skin lacks it, you risk getting a standard knife. The exact same rule applies to the float quality. However, you are absolutely guaranteed to get a Classic Knife, because the Rare Special Items in the CS20 Case consist entirely of 12 Classic Knife skins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hellc-penultimate-h2\" id=\"hellc-805299466\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/#free-giveaway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"wp-block-content-banner-image-upload-block hellcase-content-banner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Dark-Drop_Giveaway_868\u0445100.png\" alt=\" new giveaway Big banner\"><div class=\"hellcase-content-banner__label\">Advertisement<\/div><div class=\"hellcase-content-banner__overlay\"><\/div><\/a><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Sum_Up\"><\/span><strong>To Sum Up<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic Knife skins form a unique category where even the most budget-friendly $80.00 option gives you a real knife packed with character.
