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.
Price - 4.350VP for the knife, 8.700VP for the entire set
VCT LOCK//IN Misericórdia
An exclusive knife, which unfortunately is now impossible to obtain. It was added to the game before the new event VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, in the VCT LOCK//IN Capsule set. The knife has a red design along the blade contour, creating an unusual striking animation. This makes it one of the most beautiful in the game.
Price - 8.700VP for the entire set
Reaver Karambit
The knife was added to the game as part of the Reaver Collection, the first half of which came out in patch 1.11, and the second in patch 5.03. The knife is perfect for players who like to play as Omen, as its stylization is similar to this character.

Valorant GO Vol. 1 Knife
Another knife stylized after a character was added along with the first part of the Valorant GO Vol. 1 set, in patch 2.03. The knife features the character Jett, making it immediately clear who it is made for. Moreover, it's not just a knife, it's a kunai, a traditional weapon of shinobi, to which Jett belongs.
Price - 3,550VP for the knife, 8,850VP for the whole set
RGX 11Z Pro Firefly
The second butterfly knife on our list, but unlike the first one, it's filled with various effects. The knife was added in the second part of the RGX 11Z Pro Collection, which was released in the game with patch 4.08. This butterfly variation has received positive feedback from many fans, thanks to its sound accompaniment. Each knife animation is accompanied by a pleasant cutting sound, which makes the knife even more deadly.

Onimaru Kunitsuna
A knife that will appeal to fans of Asian culture, was added to the game with the second part of the Oni Collection in patch 6.04. Although it looks like a katana, it is actually a wakizashi, a traditional short Japanese sword, which samurai carried in pairs with a katana.
Price - 5,350VP for the knife, 7,100VP for the whole set
Ego Knife
A stylish variation of a regular knife, which is suitable for connoisseurs of regular knives. The skin was added in patch 1.08, and the blade of the knife depicts Chinese characters. They translate to "Unstoppable". So if you feel unstoppable in Valorant, this knife is for you.

Champions 2021 Karambit
Another knife on our list that is impossible to obtain today. The Karambit was added to the game as part of the Champions 2021 Collection, which was dedicated to the world championship and released in patch 3.10. The Champions set was special in that a portion of the set's sales went to the teams, and while the set was available for purchase, the collection raised $7,500,000.
Price - 5,350VP for the knife, 6,263VP for the whole set
Blastx Polymer Knifetech Coated Knife

Gaia`s Wrath
A hatchet knife as part of the Gaia's Vengeance Collection added to the game in patch 4.04.

Champions 2022 Butterfly Knife
Another exclusive knife, which was released in the Champions 2022 Bundle, dedicated to the past world championship.

Unfortunately, the knife is currently unobtainable as it was only available for purchase during the championship.
Price - 5,350VP for the knife, 6,167VP for the whole set
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.
Price - 4,350VP for the knife, 8,700VP for the whole set
