VALORANT knife skins

Weapon skins are one of the most popular elements of VALORANT, but when it comes to the available selection of knife skins, Riot Games really outdid themselves.

VALORANT has featured over 150 knife skins in total to date, with more released in every new patch. Each skin presents a delicious twist on the melee weapon theme, with unique designs and sizzling animations to boot.

In-game knife kills are a Credit-making thrill that never gets old, especially with VALORANT’s knife skins keeping things so fresh and flashy.

We’re not here today to teach you how to clutch a round, send a savage message, score an ace, or generally screw with enemy agents using your melee weapon though.

This guide is here for one reason only: to be your one-stop-shop for all things knife skins in VALORANT, and help make your gaming experience the best it can be.

But while you're browsing for your next melee skin, make sure to check out all the Vandal skins, as well as all the Phantom skins in VALORANT. Whichever side you're on, these weapons are your bread and butter in VALORANT.

Let’s get stuck in, shall we?

Knife skin basics

If you’re only here to check out all the melee skins available in VALORANT, you should skip this section.

How to get knife skins

In VALORANT, you get knife skins through the in-game store. Most skin bundles include a melee skin, and there’s a chance that the rotating daily store will include some fan favorites too.

The only way you’ll get a free knife skin is if you buy a skin bundle. If that’s too pricey, you can buy knife skins individually at between 1750 and 5950 VP a piece, or consider waiting for the Night Market discounts.

⚠ Fair warning: if you miss a skin, you’ll have to cross your fingers and pray it hits the store again.

Our advice – when you see a melee skin you want, don’t hesitate!

If you want the coolest VALORANT knife skins, you’ve gotta grab them while you can. Don’t join the ranks of the regretful who missed out on cool skins like the Broken Blade of the Ruined King or Elderflame, and now shed a silent tear every time the skin store rotates without bringing those skins back.

Keep in mind too - some knife skins are fated never to return to the store rotation. Former Battle Pass knife skins are a prime example, and esports limited skins like the VCT Champions bundles or 2023’s LOCK//IN skins are yet more. Fail to grab them and you may not get another chance.

Can you refund knife skins?

Per the Riot Games terms, you can only refund unused, base-level skins bought in the last 14 days.

Here’s how to get a refund.

VALORANT knife skins come in all shapes and sizes. Some are knives, others are… a little more impressive. Some of these skins are still up for grabs, others might be available again one day, and others still were limited-time exclusive features.
