Kukri Knife in CS2: Skins, Cases & Prices
Which cases have the Kukri Knife, which finishes you can get from each, and the cheapest way to own one.
What is the Kukri Knife?
The Kukri Knife is one of the newest CS2 knives, added in 2024 with the Kilowatt Case, with a forward-curved machete-style blade. It first appeared in the Kilowatt Case (2024) and drops from 2 cases in total. Like every knife it only exists as a rare special item: it drops from a handful of cases or comes out of a Covert-to-knife trade up.
Which cases have the Kukri Knife?
The Kukri Knife drops from 2 cases. In the Kilowatt Case and Gallery Case it is the only knife in the rare pool, so every knife from those cases is a Kukri Knife. The table lists every case with the Kukri Knife finishes it can give and the odds per case opened.
| Case | Kukri finishes in this case | Any Kukri | One specific finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kilowatt Case, Gallery Case | 13: Vanilla, Fade, Slaughter, Blue Steel, Stained, Case Hardened, Forest DDPAT, Boreal Forest, Crimson Web, Scorched, Safari Mesh, Night Stripe, Urban Masked | 0.26% (1 in 385) | 0.02% (1 in 5,000) |
How the odds are calculated: every case gives a knife or gloves 0.26% of the time, and we split that evenly over the different knife finishes in each case's rare pool (counted from the case's item list), because Valve only publishes the 0.26% total.
Work out your chances over many openings with the CS2 knife odds calculator, check what every Kukri Knife sells for on CS2 knife prices, or skip the unboxing with a knife trade up using Covert skins from one of these cases.

How to get a Kukri Knife
- Buy it: the cheapest way to get a specific finish and float.
- Knife trade up: five Covert skins from one of the cases above give a random item from that case's pool, which may or may not be a Kukri. Check the odds in the knife trade up calculator.
- Unbox it: about 0.26% per case for any knife, so this is the most expensive route on average. The odds per case are in the table above.
Picking a finish
Budget finishes (Safari Mesh, Boreal Forest, Scorched, Forest DDPAT, Urban Masked) are the cheapest way into a Kukri. Fade, Case Hardened and Crimson Web sit at the top, and specific patterns can multiply the price. More in the most expensive CS2 knives and the cheapest CS2 knives.
