Vanilla knives: knives with no finish
Vanilla knife: A vanilla knife is a knife with no finish: no paint, so no wear and no float. Its market name is just the knife, “★ Karambit”, with no “|” and no wear.
How to spot one
On the Steam Market it’s filed under “Not Painted”, where every other knife shows a wear. “Vanilla” is the word players and the Counter-Strike wiki use; Steam says “Not Painted”.
StatTrak™ versions too
Vanilla knives also come in StatTrak™. The price table only covers the non-StatTrak™ version.
Why it has no wear page
Our skin pages are organised by finish, then by wear. A vanilla knife has neither: each model has its page, which lists its finishes, and its lowest price is in the knife ranking.
What vanilla knives cost
The cheapest listing of each model, non-StatTrak™ vanilla version, with the marketplace and the time we read it: knives with no finish, cheapest first, in the knife ranking.
