How to get a knife?
Knives are special exceedingly rare items and can only be obtained by opening cases.
These cases drop while you are playing the game, or you can buy them on the Steam-Market place.
Any case can contain a knife and it is not proved that any of these cases has a higher chance to drop one than the others.
Following cases were developed in various different operations. While the cases of the active operation drop actively, some of them can only be purchased on the steam market because they were dropable in an earlier stage of the game.

Types of Knives.
At the moment CS:GO offers 7 different types of knives which can have one of the 5 available exteriors.
1. Gut Knife.
The most notable feature of a gut knife is the gut hook on the spine of the blade. Originally popularized as an aid for field dressing game, the gut hook is also effective at cutting through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, or safety belts with ease.
2. Flip Knife.
Flip knives sport a Persian-style back-swept blade with an acute point. While the point itself may be fragile, the overall design of the flip knife's design is surprisingly durable.
3. Bayonet.
Relatively unchanged in its design since World War II, the bayonet still retains a place in modern military strategy. Bayonet charges have continued to be effective as recently as the second Gulf War and the war in Afghanistan.
4. M9 Bayonet.
This is the M-9 bayonet. Originally intended to be mounted on a rifle, it is also well suited to close-quarters combat.
5. Karambit. (My dream knife)
With its curved blade mimicking a tiger's claw, the karambit was developed as part of the southeast Asian martial discipline of silat. The knife is typically used with a reverse grip, with the finger ring on the index finger.
6. Huntsman.
A knife designed for modern tactical uses, the blade is well suited for a range of both combat and utilitarian needs. The unique Tanto point allows for maximum penetration through even the toughest of surfaces.
7. Butterfly.
This is a custom-designed balisong, commonly known as a butterfly knife. The defining characteristic of this weapon is the fan-like opening of a freely pivoting blade, allowing rapid deployment or concealment. As a result, butterfly knives are outlawed in many countries.
