Paracord Knife questions

What is the rarest Paracord Knife in CS2?

Rarity on a Paracord Knife comes from pattern and phase, not finish. Every finish drops at the same odds from a case, so what makes one copy rarer is the Blue Gem pattern on a Case Hardened or a Doppler gem or Gamma Doppler Emerald.

How many Paracord Knife skins are there in CS2?

There are 19 Paracord Knife finishes in CS2, including the vanilla Paracord Knife. Counting every Doppler phase and gem separately, there are 25 distinct versions to price.

Can you trade up to a Paracord Knife?

Yes. Covert skins from a collection whose case includes the Paracord Knife can be traded up into a knife from that case's rare special items. The outcome is random across every knife and finish in that pool, so a Paracord Knife is never guaranteed.

Do Paracord Knife skins change the animations?

No. Every Paracord Knife has the same draw and inspect animations, whatever the finish, wear or StatTrak™ status.
