Best Valorant Knife Skins

The LOCK//IN bundle was released to celebrate the esports franchise teams in Valorant. Although the colors are limited for the price, the animation and stiletto dagger style make it exceptional. While it is not the best, the simplicity makes it one of the nicest knife skins in Valorant.

The Power Fist comes in three different variants. These knives were inspired by old arcade game machines, so they have great inspection animations. The finisher, however, is amazing on this knife skin. Those looking for a retro vibe should go for this skin without a thought.

The Composite Knife is simple and does not have any special animation or finisher. However, its simplicity, design, and amazing idle animation make it a great skin.

One of the latest melee skin additions in Valorant, Blades of Primordia, will make you feel extra fast when using them. On top of that, this dual-wield weapon makes you feel like hell is at your fingertips. Or perhaps is that Kratos from God of War? Choices Choices.

The RGX 11Z Pro Firefly is a vibrant butterfly knife. Itsmultiple color schemesperfectly complement its inspection animations. Thanks to its color effects and sounds, the RGX 11Z Pro Firefly knife is one of the best butterfly knife skins in Valorant.

Reaver Karambit is the best karambit in all tactical shooters. It is smooth and comes with the perfect karambit inspection animation. A signature Reaver sound effect complements this knife making it even more attractive.

From a baseball bat to a literal hand fan, Valorant packs a variety of knives. The Ignite fan itself comes in two variants, and both look equally good. The red flames give off the Dragon aura, while the purple adds a celestial touch. While I would place this knife higher, it’s availability slips it down.

When it comes to making the perfect kunai knife, Valorant aced it with the Valorant Go! Vol. 1 knife. With an ideal inspect, equip, and holding animation, this knife delivers on its promises. There is nothing extra in this skin, which many love for all these reasons.

When Valorant announced Oni 2.0 and teased the Katana sword, the players were excited to see how it felt in the game. After using it since then, I can say that Onimary Katana is just what you wish from a sword skin. Although, sometimes, it might deceive you on the knifing range but I’ve made my peace with that.

The Valorant community didn’t take this particular knife skin very seriously when it was released. The Xenohunter knife has minimal animations but still feels sturdy and solid for a tactical knife. I particularly liked the holding effect, which somehow reminded me of Kraven the Hunter from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (review).

Many fan knife skins have come and gone, but none can touch the class of the Celestial Fan in Valorant. It looks regal and packs a great equipped animation. The combined fanning animation can cool you off from all the hotness between rounds.

When Tenz says Kuronami is the best melee skin, you do not disagree with it. This knife was recently introduced and offers everything a high-quality knife skin should have. With multiple inspect animations along with a great attack and alt attack animation, this skin does not miss any part. For those reasons and more, the Yaiba is one of the best knife skins in Valorant.
