For the first time in Counter-Strike history, players can craft knives and gloves through the Trade Up Contract. This means that now a knife can be crafted at a lower price than purchasing it. The feature instantly exploded in popularity, flooding the market with new crafts and record-high skin prices. Here\u2019s a clear guide on how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"409\" data-end=\"453\">Step 1: Open the Trade Up Contract<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"607\">Go to your Inventory, Trade Up Contract. You\u2019ll see the usual interface for skin exchanges, but now it supports Covert-tier items (red rarity).<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"644\">Step 2: Choose Your Items<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"703\">You need 5 Covert-quality items from any collection:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"847\" class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"791\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">\n<p data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"791\">5 regular Covert skins craft one regular knife or gloves from the same collections.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"847\" class=\"article-list-pink__item\">\n<p data-start=\"794\" data-end=\"847\">5 StatTrak\u2122 Covert skins craft one StatTrak\u2122 knife.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"1060\"><b>Important:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The crafted item\u2019s collection is selected randomly from the ones you used. It means if you mix skins from the Fracture and Prisma 2 collections, your knife will come from one of these two.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Confirm the Contract<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1322\">Click \u201cSubmit\u201d and wait for the result. You\u2019ll receive your knife or gloves instantly. Each craft costs the total value of your 5 Covert items, but the outcome can easily exceed that price on the market.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Example of how a knife trade works!<br>\n\u203c\ufe0fImportantly, remember: crafted knives cannot be traded \u203c\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/30XVD8jUn8\">pic.twitter.com\/30XVD8jUn8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SKIN.CLUB (@skinclubmedia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/skinclubmedia\/status\/1981142459053986243?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Step 4: Trade or Sell<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1537\">All crafted items are fully tradeable and marketable.

The most recommended collections for knife crafting in the new CS2 Trade Up system are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fracture<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dreams &amp; Nightmares<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prisma 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revolution<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recoil<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These collections are popular as they include expensive knives such as the Butterfly Knife, Skeleton Knife, and Karambit. For example, mixing 5 Covert skins from the Fracture and Prisma 2 collections guarantees your crafted knife will come from one of those two, and both are known for their premium results.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Skins for craft<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Knives<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M4A1-S Cyrex, P90 Asiimov<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Butterfly Knife<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AK-47 Bloodsport, USP-S Neo-Noir, P250 See Ya Later, AK-47 The Empress<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Butterfly Knife \/ Falchion Knife<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AK-47 Nightwish, MP9 Starlight Protector, Desert Eagle Ocean Drive, AK-47 Leet Museo<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Butterfly Knife \/ Falchion Knife \/ Shadow Daggers \/ Bowie Knife<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWP Hyper Beast, AK-47 Aquamarine Revenge<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falchion Knife<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAMAS Commemoration, AWP Wildfire<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classic Knife<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWP Chrome Cannon, AK-47 Inheritance, Glock-18 Gold Toof, M4A1-S Vaporwave<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kukri Knife<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M4A1-S Golden Coil, USP-S Kill Confirmed<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shadow Daggers<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M4A4 The Battlestar, AK-47 Fuel Injector<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bowie Knife<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AK-47 Neon Rider, Glock-18 Bullet Queen, M4A1-S Player Two, Five-SeveN Angry Mob, M4A4 The Emperor, AWP Neo-Noir, Desert Eagle Code Red, AK-47 Asiimov<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stiletto \/ Navaja \/ Talon \/ Ursus<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAMAS Bad Trip, AWP Printstream, MAC-10 Stalker, AWP Containment Breach, AK-47 Legion of Anubis, Desert Eagle Printstream<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paracord \/ Survival \/ Nomad \/ Skeleton<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p data-start=\"3392\" data-end=\"3736\">Always check the Steam Market before crafting, as the prices for these skins fluctuate sharply after each major update.

However, if you buy an item directly from the Steam Market, no cooldown applies, so you can instantly use it in a Trade Up Contract or sell it again.

Knives have become cheaper, and it seems they will continue to fall in price. Red skins, on the other hand, are becoming more expensive. The community calls it the biggest CS2 economy update. Now, apparently, cheap CS2 knives will become more common, making it easier to find affordable options.<\/span><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valve\u2019s latest 1.3 GB CS2 update has changed everything.
