I mean. If you're going to play a game for 1,000 hours, I see no harm in making those hours more enjoyable aesthetically speaking. I personally can't ever talk myself into dropping $100 of my own money on a knife, but that's just a personal preference.

 

As for the gift aspect, whoever is giving him a $100 steam gift card for Easter is obviously giving it to him so that he can enjoy whatever he buys with it. He could buy a few shitty games he will never play for more than a few hours, or a skin for a game he plays a lot and has the potential to resale later.

I will never, ever, ever understand the fascination with CSGO skins.

When you buy a game, you gain the ability to play said game. If I buy a game I like for $20 and I get 15 hours of fun gameplay out of it, I'd say that's a reasonable investment. When you buy a skin, you're buying something to look at within a game.

 

 

 

I guess that's reasonable, but my main problem is that by the time he'll want to resell it, it'll have dropped in price by a fair margin.

I've bought shit in TF2 and I've somewhat regretted it, but at the same time I've resold some of it for a moderate price. I don't buy keys for crates unless I have some hope of getting a strange for the class that I use a lot, or an item I can resell for a profit, and even then I rarely exceed $10 in bursts.

I think the other thing is that he's using money he gets as a gift. I'd feel horrible spending gifts like this, as opposed to money I earned myself.

 

Let's say I buy a knife for 100 bucks, plus the 15 I bought the game, over 1.5k hours for 115, comparing to your 20 dollars for 15 hours, pretty good investment? I understand where you're coming from though, we can end this here :p

People spend money on what makes them happy, I wouldn't exactly worry about people spending their money on a video game texture (the limit for me would be a rare 50-100 purchase since I don't really buy myself much outside of food/gas/college). If they feel a sense of enjoyment out of it, then good for them really and let them have their fun.

Some of the well known ones that I think are worth $100 or less for using:

 

1. Huntsman Blue Steel (Well-Worn) - My first knife ever. Loved the skin, it covers the whole knife and the condition doesn't really matter imo. Yes, its all about which is more closer to a lighter blue but they all look great to me.

12. Huntsman Night (Field Tested) - Another knife where if you just inspect to see how well the skin covers the knife then you will like this skin on the knife.

 

2. Gut Knife Tiger Tooth (Factory New) - Yes, it's an ew knife but this is a GOD Tier skin. You could definitely find one for $100 easily

3. Gut Knife Fade (Factory New) - Once again, ew knife but GOD tier.

 

4. Bowie Knife Urban Masked (Field Tested/Minimal Wear) - I personally don't care for this knife anymore but if you want a knife that's big enough to view on your screen and to enjoy some fancy animation then this is perhaps something to use

 

5. Butterfly Knife Stained (Field Tested) - One of the best knives for the animation and its cheap

 

6. Falchion Night (Minimal Wear) - I personally hate these knives because they have no fancy animation and don't stand out much to me. Night skins are great in general and this is reasonable in price if you like the knife.

 

7. Flip Knife Damascus Steel (Minimal Wear/Factory New) - I personally love flips. I had a Flip Doppler myself and enjoyed it. As Wawa said, Damascus Steel is a great skin to have if you play on medium-high settings. There's a great shine to these skins and Minimal Wear is as good as Factory New for that sick shine.

8. Flip Knife Vanilla - Cheap, affordable and vanilla! Great knife to also use.

 

9. Bayonet Ultraviolet (Field Tested) - Nuclear Onion has one of these. I think they're decent to have. You have a knife where it has a sick animation, it's got a long width to cover skin as much as possible and this is a high-tiered knife too. Reason I suggested UV for FT condition is because you can find a FT wear where it looks as good as MW and still pay under $100. It's similar to Night and has a nice purple handle for a bit more color.

10. Bayonet Night (Field Tested) - Same case as above

11. Bayonet Stained (Well-Worn) - If I'm not mistaken, the skin Stained is pretty similar for all conditions. It's just about how bright the knife is.

 

13. Shadow Daggers Vanilla - I personally think Shadow Daggers are stupid. Everyone jokingly calls them buttplugs, I call them Wolverine-wannabes. The reason why I don't like them is because the knife's surface area is too fucking small to display patterns of skins on it. For vanilla its just plain black so it's fine as it is. It's within your budget so if you like these then get 'em.

14. Shadow Daggers Blue Steel (Minimal Wear) - Blue Steel is just a great skin in general and the tone of the skin looks decent on daggers.

15. Shadow Daggers Night (Minimal Wear) - Great skin in general and it'll look decent on the knife too.

 

16. M9 Bayonet Urban Masked (Field Tested) - GOD tier knife and I think the best M9 knife you could get for your money's worth.

 

Edit: MFW I spent 20 minutes typing this and researching and he's already made his choice -.-

 

I'll use this in the future, so your work won't die in vein :cheesy:
