Valorant, one of the most popular games developed by Riot Games, is known not only for its unique gameplay but also for its intricately designed skins, including stylish and attractive knives. Some of these have become rare and are no longer available for purchase. In this article, we will look at the most interesting and attractive knives that were previously released but are now impossible to acquire.

Ruin Dagger

The Ruin Dagger is the first melee weapon on our list, known for its excellent design and animation that many appreciate. It's noteworthy that the Ruin Dagger was part of one of the battle passes and could only be obtained for 1,000 Valorant Points. This makes it one of the best knives in terms of value for money, unfortunately, it is now impossible to purchase legally.

The knife appeared in the third act of the first episode "Ignition" in 2020 and is part of the Ruin collection. It could be obtained by purchasing the paid battle pass for 1,000 VP and reaching level 50.

K/TAC Blade

If you are a fan of long knives with a minimalist, yet bright and attractive design, then you might like the K/TAC Blade. According to the author of the material, it has one small drawback - a regular animation without special effects. However, considering that it was also part of one of the battle passes, this minor flaw can be forgiven.

The knife appeared in the first act of the third episode "Reflection" in 2021 and is part of the K/TAC collection. It could be obtained by purchasing the paid battle pass for 1,000 VP and reaching level 50.

Artisan Foil

The Artisan Foil is another long knife, similar in animation to the previous one on our list - the K/TAC Blade. However, its design is more luxurious, as it is styled as a rapier. Like the previous two options, it only cost its owners 1,000 VP, as it was available in a battle pass.

The knife appeared in the second act of the third episode "Reflection" in 2021 and is part of the Artisan collection. It could be obtained by purchasing the paid battle pass for 1,000 VP and reaching level 50.

Velocity Karambit

Owners of the Velocity Karambit hit the jackpot by purchasing this knife for only 1,000 Valorant Points if they reached level 50 in the battle pass. It is a very stylishly designed Karambit type knife, which is popular with many players thanks to its animation, which is consistently enjoyable to watch.

The knife appeared in the first act of the fourth episode "Disruption" in 2021 and is part of the Fiberglass collection. It could be obtained by purchasing the paid battle pass for 1,000 VP and reaching level 50.

Champions 2022 Butterfly Knife

The Champions 2022 Butterfly Knife is an exclusive butterfly knife released in honor of the 2022 Valorant World Championship. The release of this knife caused significant excitement as fans of this type of melee weapon received a detailed variant with special features unique to the Champions series, such as the skin improving depending on how many kills the owner got during the match. Additionally, it is unique.

The knife appeared in the second act of the fifth episode "Dimension" in 2022 and is part of the Champions 2022 collection. It could be obtained by purchasing individually or the entire collection during the Valorant Champions 2022. After the championship ended, it became impossible to purchase it by any legal means, only by buying a game account where it was already purchased. However, this is prohibited by the Valorant user agreement.

VCT LOCK//IN Misericórdia

The VCT LOCK//IN Misericórdia is a unique and extremely exclusive skin, as there is a high probability that such a type of tournament will never be held again in the future. This makes this skin unique and desirable for many Valorant fans. Additionally, it has an attractive look and such captivating animation that it's more tempting to twirl it in hand than to play the game.

The knife appeared in the first act of the sixth episode "Revelation" in 2023 and is part of the VCT LOCK//IN collection. It could be obtained by purchasing in the in-game store, which was there only during the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, after which it is not possible to purchase it.

Ignite Fan

The release of such a popular game as Valorant in China did not go without thematic skins. They appeared not only in the new region but also in all others, allowing the large community of players to celebrate this significant event together. In particular, the Ignite Fan knife was released, which was rumored to be exclusive to the Chinese market. Whether the passionate response from fans forced the developers to make this knife available to everyone, or it was planned in advance, is unknown.

The knife appeared in the first act of the seventh episode "Evolution" in 2023 and is part of the Ignite collection. It could be purchased during the period when Valorant officially launched in China. Along with it, the collection included two animated player cards. After the event ended, the knife and other items in the Ignite collection became unavailable for purchase.

Champions 2023 Kunai

The previous year was not without a world championship, in honor of which the Champions 2023 collection was released. This collection included a Kunai knife, of which there were only three variations in the game. The world championship was memorable for the unexpected victory of the Evil Geniuses team, which disbanded after the triumph, leaving only one player from the previous lineup.

The knife appeared in the first act of the seventh episode "Evolution" in 2023 and is part of the Champions 2023 collection. It could be obtained by purchasing in the in-game store, which was there only during the VALORANT Champions 2023 tournament, after which it is not possible to purchase it.

Sandswept Dagger

The Sandswept Dagger is a small dagger-shaped knife with unique animation, different from a regular knife. It has several color variants and is available at a low price, making it attractive compared to other melee weapons that are not available in the battle pass.

The knife appeared in the third act of the seventh episode "Evolution" in 2023 and is part of the Sandswept collection. It could be obtained by purchasing the paid battle pass for 1,000 VP and reaching level 50.

Champions 2021 Karambit

The Champions 2021 Karambit was the first knife released in honor of the world championship, which took place in 2021. Almost three years later, owners of this knife are extremely rare, as many new players have joined the game since then.

The knife appeared in the third act of the third episode "Reflection" in 2021 and is part of the Champions 2021 collection.
