The Best Shadow Daggers Skins In CS2
Of all the knives in CS2, none are more unique or different than the Shadow Daggers. They’re an iconic weapon that is some of the most popular in the game, and the reason for this is immediately obvious. Not only are they incredibly cool, but it’s also the only melee weapon in the game so far that’s a dual wield weapon, and that in itself is quite impressive.
List of the best Shadow Daggers skins
While the Shadow Daggers are already great looking, sometimes using something for too long can make it wear thin, even if they’re Shadow Daggers. When that happens, you’re going to want to look at some skins for the dual knives. They always add some spice to your weapons, especially when it comes to the Shadow Daggers. We’ve compiled a list of the best Shadow Dagger skins in CS2 for your viewing pleasure. Now, let’s get into the list.
1. ★ Shadow Daggers | Doppler (Minimal Wear)
First on the list, we have the Doppler Shadow Daggers, an impressive skin that works shockingly well with the Shadow Daggers. Bright red handles are the most prominent part of the weapon’s look, standing out in a big way. The blades of the daggers also feature that signature smoky Doppler black and red color scheme. There’s so much that works well here, and it’s great to see.
2. ★ Shadow Daggers | Marble Fade (Minimal Wear)
Next up we have the Marble Fade Shadow Daggers, a skin that’s so bright that some may see it as garnish, though it definitely has its fans. The classic Marble Fade look of red, blue, and yellow blending together with a smoky look is clear to see on the blades of the daggers. The brightest part of the weapon however is the red handle, which stands out like nothing else. If you like skins that stand out, this one’s absolutely for you.
3. ★ Shadow Daggers | Autotronic (Factory New)
The fun continues with the Autotronic Shadow Daggers, a pair of knives that are overall quite simple, but quite alluring in their choice of colors. The handles this time around are a pleasant dark red, fitting the style of weapon this is. For the blades, on the other hand, things are kept subtle and sleek with a nice choice of gunmetal gray coloration. It’s a surprisingly sleek weapon and a great crowd-pleaser.
4. ★ Shadow Daggers | Case Hardened (Factory New)
The Case Hardened Shadow Daggers are another interesting pair of knife skins, especially thanks to the weather looks of the Case Hardened skin. There’s heavy discoloration all over the blades and handles of the knives, as well as some rustier bits here and there that really contribute to the excellent theme. It makes for a fantastic look, though one that may be a bit of an acquired taste.
5. ★ Shadow Daggers | Fade (Minimal Wear)
The next skin on our list is the Fade Shadow Daggers, one of the most striking weapons on this list. A big contributing factor to this is how good the shifting colors of gold, magenta, and purple are on the blades of the daggers. It’s a stunning look, and it stands out even among the other Fade skins. On top of that, we also get some bright magenta handles to go along with the shifting colors, and it’s excellent stuff.
6. ★ Shadow Daggers | Lore (Factory New)
The Shadow Daggers have a habit of bringing the most out of any skin design, and this is especially true of our next listing, the Lore Shadow Daggers. The Lore skins always have a simple ornate pattern going along the edge of the blade, but with the Shadow Daggers the design goes all the way along the blade, and it gives the daggers an almost antiquated look. Golden handles complete the look, making for an impressive design.
7. ★ Shadow Daggers | Crimson Web (Factory New)
Here we have the Crimson Web Shadow Daggers, yet another strong addition to the list. We get a classic black and red color combination, with the blades being primarily red with the signature spider-web decals going all around them. Finishing the look we have the handles, contrasting wonderfully with the blood-red blades in deep, dark black. Overall just a great skin, and another generally pleasing one.
8. ★ Shadow Daggers | Damascus Steel (Factory New)
If you think the skins haven’t become crazy enough, then the Damascus Steel Shadow Daggers may change your mind. The blades carry the signature ripple effect of the Damascus Steel skins, and it’s still a crazy effect. What makes it even wilder however is that the ripple effect carries over to the entire weapon, covering the handles as well. It makes for a very memorable look, especially if you like bright, unique skins.
9. ★ Shadow Daggers | Tiger Tooth (Minimal Wear)
Now we have the Tiger Tooth Shadow Daggers, a pair of exquisite looking daggers that are meant to invoke the look of a tiger skin. As such, the blades of the weapons are covered in a tiger print, with bright orange and the dark brown of the stripes making for a striking visual. The handles also carry over the dark brown of the tiger stripes, making for a cohesive look that fits the weapon.
10. ★ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler (Minimal Wear)
Near the opposite end of the list, we have the counterpart to the original Doppler skin, the Gamma Doppler Shadow Daggers. Conceptually, it’s a simple idea of swapping the red in the skin with some green, but the result is a pair of daggers that look like they’re made of emeralds. The bright green of the blades is awesome, and paired with the black of handles makes for a clean and impressive look.
11. ★ Shadow Daggers | Slaughter (Field-Tested)
For our final skin, we have the Slaughter Shadow Daggers, another red skin, but this time with a bit more balance in contrasts. The blades make great use of layered red spatters in a surprising camouflage pattern. On the other hand, the handles are made up of the darkest shades of red on the blades, completing the look perfectly. It’s all cohesive stuff, and a solid choice to close off the list.
Final Words
The Shadow Daggers are some of the most impressive-looking knives in CS2, and the skins that came out of it are also some of the best ones we’ve seen. They take the look of the weapon and really run with the color combinations, making for some really memorable looks. If you didn’t find a favorite here, however, don’t worry. There are a lot of other skins available, and with time we’re sure you’ll find one that fits your tastes.
