About the ★ Shadow Daggers
Overview · Skins
Overview
Shadow Daggers are a pair of push daggers presumed to be modeled on the Gerber Tactical Uppercut, making them the only knives in the game issued as a matched set rather than a single blade. They also rank among the more affordable knives to collect. This pair has been available since September 2015, when the Shadow Case launched, and like every knife it cannot be bought directly with in-game currency; it only appears as a rare special-item drop, unboxed from the Shadow Case as well as the Dreams & Nightmares Case, the Operation Riptide Case, the Spectrum Case, and the Spectrum 2 Case. Every finish made for them carries Covert rarity.
Skins
The wiki lists 35 skins for Shadow Daggers, all of them Covert rarity like every knife finish in the game. Named patterns among the rarest include Black Laminate, Blue Steel, Bright Water, and Damascus Steel, names shared with several of the game's other knives.
