The Trade-Up Contract in Counter-Strike 2 allows players to exchange multiple skins of the same rarity for one item of higher rarity. To craft a knife, players combine five high-tier skins from the same collection. All input skins must come from one case or collection to keep the odds clean. If skins come from different collections, the chance of getting the desired knife drops. The crafting chance is always low — around 1.5%, but the reward can be huge. Players can turn a few cheap skins into a rare knife worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Crafting Tips and Strategy

When you try to craft a Flip Knife, always use skins from the same collection. This helps you get the knife you want. Pick Factory New or Minimal Wear or Lower skins when possible — they sell for more and look much cleaner. Before you buy, check the float values with tools like CSGOFloat or Buff to find low-float skins. They can make better knife patterns and increase the item’s market value.

The chance of crafting a Flip Knife is usually about 1.5%, but one lucky craft can give you a knife worth $700 or more. It’s a risky process, but the excitement is what makes it fun.

The Flip Knife is one of the most stylish and recognizable knives in CS2. Players love it for its clean shape and wide variety of patterns like Fade, Doppler, and Gamma Doppler Emerald. Even with low chances, many keep crafting it for the thrill and the dream of hitting something rare. Sometimes one lucky click can turn $400 of skins into a knife worth almost $1,000. Crafting takes luck, patience, and timing — but that’s what makes it special in Counter-Strike 2.
