“Designed for efficient brutality, using a push dagger is as simple as throwing a punch or two.” ―Official description
The Shadow Daggers, introduced into the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2 realms on September 17, 2015, with the Shadow Boxing update, are a distinctive cosmetic knife option for players. Initially made available in the Shadow Case with Arms Deal finishes, these knives have expanded their aesthetic appeal over time, incorporating Chroma finishes in the Spectrum Case as of March 15, 2017, reappearing in Chroma finishes with the Spectrum 2 Case on September 14, 2017, and later adopting Gamma finishes on September 21, 2021, during Operation Riptide in the Operation Riptide Case.
Overview
Marked as a rare special (★) item, the Shadow Daggers offer no functional advantage over the standard knife but stand out due to their unique design. Players can find them in the Shadow, Spectrum, Spectrum 2, and Operation Riptide Cases.
