Gut Knife | Tiger Tooth

The Gut Knife | Tiger Tooth is a highly recognizable knife skin based on the Tiger Tooth finish theme, originally popularized in the CS:GO era and carried into CS2 as a CS:GO (legacy) model. As part of the franchise’s long-running collection system, it became known for its bold, high-contrast patterning and clean overall look on the Gut Knife silhouette.

In Counter-Strike 2, this skin is classified as Covert rarity, which generally indicates a lower availability compared to lower-tier weapon skins. While exact drop odds are not publicly confirmed by Valve, Covert items are typically considered among the more difficult skins to obtain through normal case openings—making the Gut Knife | Tiger Tooth a frequent target for collectors.

You can find this skin in limited wear conditions, with a float range of 0 to 0.08 and these available wears: Factory New and Minimal Wear. StatTrak is available for this skin (showing kill counts in-game), while Souvenir versions are not available. When shopping for the “look,” wear level is especially important on knives because finish clarity and pattern presentation can vary noticeably between Factory New and Minimal Wear.

Visually, the Tiger Tooth finish is known for its striking, tiger-like striping and dramatic contrast. The paint index 409 corresponds to a specific pattern set within the Tiger Tooth layout, contributing to the distinctive look that players associate with this skin family. On the Gut Knife, the design tends to emphasize the blade’s surface character, producing a polished and aggressive aesthetic that stands out in inspections and during gameplay.

For acquisition, the Gut Knife | Tiger Tooth has been found in Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, and Chroma 3 Case. It is not listed as coming from any specific collections, meaning its primary path for most players is case opening rather than collection-based progression.

Among the community, the Gut Knife | Tiger Tooth is widely perceived as a premium-looking knife with strong “display value.” Its combination of Covert rarity, clean presentation, and iconic Tiger Tooth pattern styling makes it a popular choice for players who want a recognizable knife aesthetic without needing a specific thematic build.
