Although there are lots of sick knife skins in CS: GO, you cannot use them unless you purchase them from the market. Even the basic versions of these knives are unused in normal matches.
Given that the only time you’ll ever use knives in CS: GO are when you need to move faster, most people don’t ever care about their cosmetics. However, if you’re one of the players who want to try different knives and find out how each one of them is different from others, then you might be wondering how to do it.
Even though you can’t equip different knives without purchasing their skins, you can still try their basic versions in the private lobby and feel their difference. In this article, we have listed all the commands to spawn every type of knife in CS: GO.

Enabling the Console Commands in CS: GO
CS: GO does not allow you to drop the knife as you would drop any other weapons in the game. So even when you spawn a knife, you can’t switch it with your default knife. The first thing you need to do is set up your console to be able to drop your knife like other weapons.
It is a very important step because you can’t pick up knives in CS: GO while you’re already holding one. This allows you to drop your current knife on the ground. To set up the knife commands in CS: GO, follow these steps:
- Create a custom lobby of your choice. Since you can’t use console commands in normal or ranked matches, a private lobby is your only choice.
- Now, open the console by pressing the ‘’ key. Type
sv_cheats 1in the console and hit Enter. (This command allows you to activate cheats in your private lobby, and without it, you cannot spawn knives.) - Then, type
mp_drop_knife_enable 1on the console again and press Enter. (This command allows you to drop your current knife.)
Now, you can drop your current knife on the ground. However, you still cannot pick the knife that you spawn with commands. For this, you need another command:
ent_fire weapon_knife addoutput “classname weapon_knifegg"
You need to attach this command at the back of every knife command to pick up the spawned knife. Fortunately, we have already added this on every knife command, so you only have to copy the commands and paste them into your console directly, and you can pick them up without any hassle.
