CS:GO Knife Commands List: Free Knife Tester

If you've got your eyes on any of the melee weapons on the community market, then using these CS:GO knife commands should help you alleviate any regrets. As the prices of items in CS:GO are entirely determined by the players themselves, the most desirable items like knives are often very expensive. However, using these CS:GO knife commands means that you can test them all out in game to see which ones you like best, so make sure to read on to see the full list.

How To Test Knives In CS:GO

In order to test knives in CS:GO you will first need to ensure that the developer console is enabled. To do so, head to the Game section of the settings, and then check that the 'Enable Developer Console (~)' setting is set to yes.
Once you've done that, go to the play section and select Play with Bots from the drop-down menu. Make sure that you have set the bot number to zero, and then load into the map of your choice.
Once you're loaded into the map, open up the developer console using the ~ (tilde) key in the top left of your keyboard and type in sv_cheats 1. This will allow you to manipulate the game settings so that you can extend the round timer and load in the knives.
Once you've done that, input the following command into the developer console:
- mp_roundtime_defuse 60;mp_roundtime_hostage 60;mp_roundtime 60;mp_restartgame 1
This will restart the round and set a 60-minute timer giving you more than long enough to play around with and test your new blades. The final console command that you will want to input is mp_drop_knife_enable 1, which will allow you to drop your knife. This is essential, as otherwise, you will have no space to load any of the new knives into.
You must also make sure that you have the default knife equipped when loading into the match, as this will not work if you have any purchased knives set to your loadout. Furthermore, this can only be done in a custom game and not in an actual online match, so you will have to actually purchase the knives if you wish to show them off to your friends.
