How to make a knife in CS:GO

If you've only recently gotten interested in the game and don't know how to make a knife in CS:GO, this information will definitely help. Although they are available from the start, as well as any firearm, but by default you have to run either with a stock Recondo IV for special forces, or with a Persian terrorist blade.

Another thing is that the other skins are not available in the game. Meaning a free way to get it. Cold weapons — are among the rarest and most expensive in CS GO, especially collectible models like the Northern Forest Butterfly Knife, the Tiger's Tooth folding knife or the iconic M9 Blood Web bayonet. And sometimes you want to hold in your hands and kerambit, and butterfly and a huge hunting cleaver.

There are several options for how to make any knife in CS:GO:

1. Inside the game, under the tab «search for community servers» spell out the command WS (private server). Given that they are often clogged, you can use an alternative;

.

2. Using third-party Internet resources to find a ready-made WS-server, enter the command «connect» into the console and specify the IP-address of the server.

We will tell you about all the methods in detail.

Existing types of knives

Today in CS GO is presented a ton of cold weapons for absolutely every taste. And it's all divided into 19 key categories, about which more later.

And with each update they add new items and skins. If you try to collect them all — you won't have enough time, much less money. And all your dreams of making a knife spinner in CS:GO will remain unfulfilled. Therefore, we will catch up at least in virtual mode. 

Let's dabble on private servers

If someone offers you to make a free throwing knife in CS:GO, urgently asking for the login and password of the account — you should not go to the provocation. There are at least 2 absolutely legal ways to dabble in skins, but for this you need to fulfill one of the conditions:

• Go to a special WS-server, where the admin initially prescribed the ability to use any weapon with any skin, even if it is not supported in the game. On some maps you can even see the models from the workshop, but you will have to dig around the network looking for the appropriate IP to connect to the game.

.

• Create your own server with administrator rights (game with bots) and use the console commands discussed below. 

Stages of connecting to WS-servers

For a detailed inspection of non-existent (in your backpack) items within the game itself will require:

Go to CS GO and click «Play»;

.

• In the drop-down list on the top left, select «List of community servers» (a warning window will pop up that they are not controlled by Valve, but ignore it);

• At the bottom right, type the command «!WS»to filter out private servers that are needed later (in our case, in addition to WS, we also need !knife).

• Choose any suitable server that meets the parameters and is not full of bots.

There are a lot of such servers, and most of them are loaded. In addition, there is often a chance to run into an inadequate who will not give a normal look at the gallery of knives. If you can't find a good map — use an alternative method with third-party resources to find WS servers like Gametracker:

• Find a suitable server on the internet and copy its IP address;

• Enable the console in your developer settings to use the advanced command set;

• Open the console with the «Tilde key» (aka Yo), type the command «Connect» and copy the previously found IP address.

This is the end of the preliminary preparation — you can move on.

When you get into the game on the desired map, de everything is properly configured and open, open the chat and write the command «!WS» (without quotes) to get to the appropriate menu.

Using the buttons «Next» «Previous» (forward/backward) scroll through the menu until you come across the name of the knife you need (the names are in English, so it is desirable to know the names of cold weapons in the original, not the Russian translation).

And then you have a full set of skins at your disposal. At the same time, you are not limited by the rigid binding of the drawing to a certain knife. What's more, you can stick a non-existent skin on it just to visualize this picture in life. Many designers and artists practice such techniques to create new original works in the future.

Here is an example of a Glock-18 Syrex, which has not yet been seen in the «wildlife» . But it looks interesting.

The main thing — do not make a mistake with the choice of server, and at the same time we recommend to turn off the sound, because in 90% of cases people are caught very loud, and it is very annoying.

Inspection of knives in training mode

To make a butterfly knife in CS Go, or any other cleaver — you need to know the console commands, which are extremely numerous in the game. We have already written about enabling the console, now let's move on to practical actions.

The first thing to do is to write 2 commands:

• sv_cheats 1 — gives access to all other commands inside the game;

• mp_drop+knife_enable 1 — allows the character to drop a knife, which in normal mode can not be done.

Now more details about each type of knives. We will not prescribe absolutely all the commands, because to describe 19 types of cleaver — is a long and thankless task. Let's focus on the top ten: 

• kerambit — give weapon_knife_karambit

• bayonet knife — give weapon_bayonet

• M9 bayonet knife — give weapon_knife_m9_bayonet

• butterfly — give weapon_knife_butterfly

• claw — give weapon_knife_widowmaker

• falchion — give weapon_knife_falchion

• stiletto — give weapon_knife_stiletto

• bear knife — give weapon_knife_ursus

• hunting knife — give weapon_knife_tactical

• folding knife — give weapon_knife_flip

All commands are entered through the console. In this way, we gain access to the underlying texture. But this is the main disadvantage of — you can't view skins in this way.

You can build your own server through resources like My Arena, but you will have to pay for this pleasure. And at the same time to master the skills of working with FTP-clients like FileZila, to have more or less powerful hardware and spend precious time. Therefore, it is better to limit yourself to WS-servers, where everything is much simpler.
