Frequently asked questions
What are the best knives under $100 in CS2 in 2026?
The list above ranks every knife priced under $100 by popularity — Steam sales volume blended with on-site trade activity — so the top picks are the ones real buyers are actually trading at this budget, not just the cheapest listing. Switch the sort to "Cheapest" to see the absolute cheapest first.
How are prices for these knives calculated?
Each price is the median across every market we track (Steam, CSFloat, Skinport, DMarket and more), with outliers and stale listings filtered out. The $100 cap is applied to that median, so an item appears here when its fair market price — not a single lowball listing — is under $100.
Are cheap knives worth buying in 2026?
Yes — plenty of knives under $100 look great and trade actively. Cheap usually just means higher supply, not lower quality. Open any item's price-history chart to check whether a budget pick is trending up or down before you buy.
Do more expensive knives hold value better?
Not necessarily. Within a budget tier the items that hold value best are the ones with steady or rising demand, which is exactly what the popularity ranking on this page surfaces. Use the price history on each item page to confirm the trend before treating any skin as an investment.
