Cases that can contain a Classic Knife

Odds = the case's gold chance × Classic Knife finishes ÷ all knife/glove finishes in its pool, with every finish equally likely (Doppler phases share one finish, as in the game). They cover any Classic Knife finish, before wear and StatTrak. Open cost is the case + key from DropLabz's Steam market snapshot (market data updated Oct 27, 2026).
