Among the variety of skins in Valorant, melee weapons attract the most attention. Although it's quite difficult to effectively use a knife in a match, it's often with this weapon that your character moves around the map during rotations or waits for the start of a new round. Despite having made a similar compilation in 2023, Riot Games regularly releases new sets that include new knife skins. Therefore, today, the Bo3 editorial team has created for you a new list of the 15 best knife skins in Valorant as of 2024.
To start, it's worth noting that this list reflects the subjective opinion of the author, so if you disagree with some of the skins, feel free to write your suggestions in the comments. Also, our list will not include skins from the Champions 2021, 2022, 2023 sets, or VCT Lock, because these sets will no longer appear in the store rotation or Night Market.
1 – Kuronami no Yaiba
Opening our list is arguably one of the best skins in the history of Valorant, in the opinion of our editorial team and beyond. Added with patch 8.0, the Kuronami set impressed the entire community not just with its price, but also with its unique knife skin. Styled after modern ninjas, the skin resembles the ancient Japanese weapon Kusarigama and features a unique animation. Four different colour schemes and a fantastic look have made this skin one of the most popular, despite its hefty price.
Price: 9,500VP for the entire set, 5,350VP for the knife.
2 – RGX 11z PRO FIREFLY
Butterfly knives always capture the community's attention, and despite many similar examples in Valorant, the skin from the RGX 11z set is considered the best. It's not just about the appearance, which has 4 different styles, the main advantage of this skin is its sound. Using the RGX 11z PRO FIREFLY, your swings and twirls will be accompanied by an effective slicing sound as if the knife cuts through the air. Thanks to this, the butterfly knife has become a favourite among the community and our editorial team.
Price: 8,700VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
3 – Nebula Knife
Next, we have a skin that doesn't have different design variants, but it doesn't need them. The Nebula Knife from the Nebula set was released back in 2020, but even today, it's hard to find a skin that can compete with it in terms of beauty. The unique cosmic-style paint job will make you proud to own this knife and will make your allies envious.
Price: 7,100VP for the entire set, 3,550VP for the knife.
4 – Blades of Primordia
Next up is another pair of knife skins, which appeared in Valorant as one of the last. It's interesting to note that all existing paired knives are very stylish, and Blades of Primordia is no exception. Designed in a demonic style with the addition of lava, the two daggers look fantastic in the game, and an enhanced second level of animation makes them even more valuable.
Price: 8,700VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
5 – Singularity Knife
Little can be said about the next skin other than that it impresses with its simplicity. The minimalist design, combining a simple black handle with a purple blade made in the form of a crystal, is perfect for those who don't want to see extra effects on their screen.
Price: 8,700VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
6 – Ruyi Staff
This skin might not be considered the best by most players, but our editorial team likes it. Styled as a combat staff, the skin directly references Chinese mythology, specifically the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. This legend from Chinese history has found great popularity in many modern games, and his weapon has also appeared in Valorant.
Price: 7,100VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
7 – Blade of Chaos
The next skin is distinguished by its bulkiness, but its size in no way affects its style. The knife from the Prelude to Chaos set has an interesting design, as lightning runs along the entire surface of its blade, which can change its colour depending on the colour choice. The skin is created in a mechanical style, which wonderfully showcases its uniqueness.
Price: 8,700VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
8 – Overdrive Blade
The first katana on our list appeared in the game with patch 7.12 and the Overdrive set. Although at first glance it might seem that such a skin is quite large and would be uncomfortable in the game, that's not the case. The katana fits perfectly into the game interface and occupies the lower half of the screen, without interfering with your gameplay in any way.
Price: 8,700VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
9 – Broken Blade of the Ruined King
A broken sword that at first glance seems to reference the legendary movie "The Lord of the Rings" actually refers to another Riot project - League of Legends. Specifically, it's the sword of the character Viego, who can be seen in the background of the skin itself. It's worth noting that when unlocking the second level of animation, the sword becomes whole, so you can choose which look you prefer.
Price: 8,700VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
10 – Araxys bio Harvester
We couldn't leave this skin out of our list due to the Valorant community's great love for it. The Araxys set appeared in the game at the beginning of 2023, and since then, it's been considered one of the best. All skins in it are wonderfully designed, but the melee weapon, which is a knife with two blades, is especially favoured by players.
Price: 8,700VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
11 – Reaver Karambit
Next up, we have the equally famous type of knife, the butterfly knife. The Karambit is one of the most popular types of melee weapons in most competitive shooters. This particular knife is part of the "Reaver" series and is characterised by its futuristic and sharpened style. The purple and black colours, along with metallic reflections and a curved blade, give this item a very expressive and recognizable look. It is especially suited for playing the agent Omen, whose style matches this knife.
Price: 7,100VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
12 – Titanmail Mace
This skin is far from the concept of a knife but is definitely designed for melee combat. Part of the Titanmail set, it's styled as a yellow staff with four prongs. Interestingly, the skin doesn't have other design variants, but it does have a second level of animation, during which all four prongs rotate around their axis.
Price: 5,100VP for the entire set, 2,550VP for the knife.
13 – Relic Stone Daggers
Another paired skin in our list is part of the Sentinels of Light set. It's worth noting that this set includes two melee weapon skins, but Relic Stone looks the best and is also a paired weapon. Moreover, the weapon has an interesting animation, during which certain effects spread along its blade, depending on the colour of the knife itself.
Price: 8,700VP for the entire set, 4,350VP for the knife.
14 – Orion Sword
The penultimate skin on our list is a fairly large sword from the Orion set. It attracts attention primarily with its design, which is stylized in the artistic style of animation. Moreover, the sword looks quite stylish and vibrant, thanks to the blue and orange colours.
Price: 5,100VP for the entire set, 2,550VP for the knife.
15 – Luxe Knife
Closing our list is a simple knife from the Luxe set. Despite having no light or animation effects, the model is made very well. The blue and white design and unusual pattern create an aristocratic look for both the knife and its owner.
Price: 5,100VP for the entire set, 1,750VP for the knife.
