Maybe we don't do knife kills every day, but it doesn't matter – owning a Melee skin is a sign of prestige. But which skins reflect this prestige the best? In our opinion, these 5 knives are the absolute best. | © Riot Games
The 5 Best Melee Skins
Stab your enemies with some style!
RGX 11Z PRO BLADE
Let's start this listing with a Melee skin that is used by Kourtney Kardashian herself. It appears as a pocket knife in the store; however, you can upgrade it to a Katana for just 10 Radianite Points. All these other "swords" are not even close to this skin, so if you're into big knifes, this is easily the best one. | © Riot Games
- Price: 4350 Valorant Points
- Upgrades: Katana VFX (10 Radianite Points), Color Variants (Red, Blue, Orange – 15 Radianite Points)
Velocity Karambit
Or do you prefer something smaller? Then, there is one knife that has no matching – the Velocity Karambit, in our opinion the best karambit in the game. Seriously, compare it to the Prime one; it looks like a banana compared to this one. But well, it was a part of the Episode 4 Act 1 Battle Pass, so if you weren't able to get it, we feel sorry for you. | © Riot Games
- Price: 1000 Valorant Points (Episode 4 Act 1 Battle Pass, Tier 50)
- Upgrades: Color Variants (Purple, Yellow, Aquamarine – 10 Radianite Points)
Oni Claw
Moving on, a knife with the first skin bundle that appeared in the Valorant Store right after the game's official release. You hold it a little differently than all the other Melee skins, but that doesn't make it any less deadly – quite the opposite. Plus, this is a must-have for all Yoru mains, as Oni knife glows in a specific way after using Ult + teleport. | © Riot Games
- Price: 3550 Valorant Points
- Upgrades: VFX (Glow, 10 Radianite Points)
Recon Balisong
Making a good-looking butterfly knife was quite a challenge for Riot Games, and the community had to wait over a year for it. Still, we finally got it, and it's outstanding! It may be a bit "thicker" compared to the one we know from CSGO, but doesn't that make it look slightly more deadly? Plus, the animation is next level, which was probably the biggest challenge for the designers. By the way, is it just us, or does this knife match super well with the weapon skins from the PROTOCOL 781-A collection? | © Riot Games
- Price: 3550 Valorant Points
- Upgrades: VFX (Animation, 10 Radianite Points), Color Variants (Red, Blue, Green)
Radiant Crisis 001 Baseball Bat
All the other Melee skins in this listing are "too serious" for you? How about something straight from the comic book! Although it's not a blade, it's just as lethal. For just 10 Radianite Points you can decorate your Baseball Bat with cartoonish "swishhh" and "swooosh!" captions (but it doesn't have "bonk!", we're sorry). | © Riot Games
- Price: 3550 Valorant Points
- Upgrades: VFX (Cartoonish captions, 10 Radianite Points)
