As Shroud moved the knife to make the sun reflect on it, his fellow streamers and teammates all began praising how good it looked. With the sunlight creating a proper sheen, it clearly embodied one of the many amazing graphical additions to Counter-Strike 2.

Tarik interjected saying his green emerald knife also looked good:

"Wait, wait no. My f*cking green knife looks cool too, no?"

While CooperTV pointed out that all of the rare skins look great due to the significant graphical upgrades, it is to be acknowledged that the ruby knives look especially good. The streamer team proceeded to show each other their melee weapons, taking screenshots.
