CS2 Knife Commands

Vanilla is boring!

If you're anything like us, you think having the regular knife in CS2 is boring. The good news is that there's a way to change things up on your own server or on a practice map if you have access to the console and sv_cheats. The even better news is that it's really easy to do!

Change Knife with Console Commands

First, enable and open the console (the default key is ` or ~). If you don't know how to do this see our CS2 and CS:GO console guide.

After opening the console, run these commands:

sv_cheats 1; mp_drop_knife_enable 1

Next, drop your knife on the floor and open the console. You'll then need to run the following command to spawn in a butterfly knife (don't worry, we explain how to change it to a different type of knife afterwards):

subclass_create 515

To equip the knife you've just spawned in, simply walk over it like you would to equip any other dropped weapon!

To change your knife to a different type of knife, change the 515 in the above command to a number from the list below.
