This pocket knife is not a toy! Learn about the value and rarity of the best Falchion Knife skins and see how you can turn it into a trading opportunity.
Using a knife in CSGO is really peculiar. In a game where it’s all about curated shots, alert reflex and precise movement, a situation where you bump into your opponent with a chance to punch a hole in his vest seems to be least likely. Well, if you played just a bit on casual servers, you know it’s not that uncommon. It’s a special type of touchdown if you manage to get a knife kill in competitive play. Given the tension of fragging someone with a knife, why would someone like to use a pocket knife to do it?
How about because it looks über-awesome and feels really good? Falchion Knife skins might have a very epic and high-register name, but in reality they are simple curved pocket knives, that are more reminiscent of the knife from 12 Angry Men than the sword it was named after. Let’s look at some of those and talk about the sly cutters in general.
Best Falchion Knife Skins
While with the Falchion knife all skins look pretty decent, as a pocket knife can be both very morbid and very fun, we’ll look at a subjective choice of six of them that we consider most interesting.
Marble Fade
You know how it goes with Marble Fade skins – you either love them, or you hate them. Even so, the candy coating makes the handy cutter look a bit less dangerous – to the demise of those looking at it up close. Whether you’re a fan of the blues and the reds or not, the market price is the market price, and a Falchion Knife Marble Fade is a treasure worth at least $220, but usually one and half times that much.
Case Hardened
Let’s not even get started with the world of Case Hardened patterns. Depending on the seed and the submarket, those can have hundreds of recognizable variants. Let’s just focus on the fact that the charcoal burns look very realistic on such a palm-size blade. The non-StatTrak wears are at reasonable prices. You can get one for anything between $120 and $200 if you fancy it. But, a Factory New StatTrak Falchion Knife Case Hardened can raise that amount by the dozens if found with a rare pattern.
Gamma Doppler
There's magic hidden between green, purple and blue. On Falchion knife it has several ways of shining through. The relatively small blade doesn't show much pattern, but it is also present on the handle. Not many of those are around on Steam listings (about 30 standards and about 5 StatTraks as I'm writing this). The prices are relatively low for Dopplers because of popularity and wobble between $250 and $400. You can also totally ignore the wear level – the quality spread is thin and it's the pattern catalogue number that matters.
Boreal Forest
There's no other way of saying this. Boreal Forest skins don't look particularly good on any weapon. Thus, the popularity of this finish for this knife is absolutely beyond me. Maybe it's the accessibility? Here's an example of a first-knife-ever sentiment.
Conclusion
In this brief rundown we’ve presented some falchion knife skins CS GO players can really appreciate, both in look and in their value. They all come from the Falchion case and make a niche on their own in the realm of Counter-Strike knives. A lot of them can be obtained at very reasonable prices. Some rare ones can earn you a nice budget for further skin trading. Just don’t cut your hands with it!
