Riot Games' shooter, like most competitive online games, has a vast catalogue of weapon skins. In this respect, the game developers definitely surpass all their competitors, thanks to the company's love for various animation styles. Fans know that Riot Games often releases animated videos dedicated to the announcements of major tournaments or the release of a new character. There's also the well-known Netflix animated series Arcane, which is dedicated to Riot Games' MOBA game - League of Legends. The series received the highest reviews from critics and viewers primarily due to its unique style of animation, and overall rating is evaluated at 97%.

All the above points to the fact that Riot Games are skilled at animation and have their own unforgettable artistic style. This finds its reflection in the design of weapons in Valorant, most skins look beautiful and are filled with many minor details that delight the eyes of happy skin owners. We'll talk about the shooter weapons another time, but today, our editorial team has selected for you 15 of the best knife skins in Valorant. We should remind you that this list reflects the subjective opinion of the author.

Ignite Fun

The first knife in our list is the newest in the game. It appeared in Valorant in the summer of 2023 and is dedicated to the official launch of Valorant in China. To celebrate this, Riot Games added the Ignite set which included a knife skin. We'd like to separately note that the knife exists in 2 variations.

Price - 4,710 VP for the entire set

Nebula Knife

Next up is a cosmic knife, depicted with a galactic nebula, directly referring to the name of the skin itself. Space objects have always looked enchanting, just like space itself, and the knife in Valorant is no exception. The set was one of the first in the game and was added in patch 1.06.

Price - 3.550VP for the knife, 7.100VP for the entire set

Black.Market Butterfly Knife

There are many butterfly knives in Valorant, but we have chosen the skin from the Black Market set. The main difference of this knife from others is its simplicity. The butterfly is made of ordinary black metal, without any light and sparkling effects, but it is precisely its minimalist design that attracts. If you don't like bright skins, then the butterfly knife is your choice.

Price - 3.550VP for the knife, 7.100VP for the entire set

Broken Blade of the Return King

Next on our list is not just a knife, but a whole sword, unfortunately only broken. The set was added in patch 3.01 and dedicated to the event - Sentinels of Light in another game from Riot Games - League of Legends. So if you're a MOBA genre fan who decided to try your hand at Valorant, this knife will be a great purchase. We'd like to separately note that the sword very much resembles "Narsil", the famous sword from Lord of the Rings, so this can be considered a reference to the legendary trilogy.

VCT LOCK//IN Misericórdia

Another knife stylized after a character was added along with the first part of the Valorant GO Vol. 1 set, in patch 2.03.

Araxys Bio Harvester

The last knife on our list appeared in the game with the release of patch 6.0, as part of the Araxys Collection. While many people think that the set is dedicated to the movie Dune, which featured a planet called Arrakis, this is not the case. This is because the set was released a year before the movie came out. The knife itself, in its form, is more similar to an energy sword from the Halo universe.
