A little about knives on CS:GO
Counter-Strike is the oldest online first-person shooter. Its first version was released back in 1999. Since then, several generations of cyber-athletes have grown up in its locations.
Gamers especially liked the continuation of the classic network shooter — Counter-Strike Global Offensive — released in 2012. The game has several dozen different knives. Each of them has a real prototype in life. The most common types of blades in CS:GO include bayonet, karambit, and flip knives.
Each blade model has its own color and pattern. The value and cost of the item in the game depend on it.
After appearing in CS:GO, many factories worldwide have produced real-life knives that copy game weapons. These are intended as collectibles by gamers who are addicted to Counter-Strike. But we’d better take a closer look at the most popular virtual knives in CS:GO.

From the second third of the butt, there is a steep descent. Half of the upper part of the plate is occupied by highly serrated teeth.
