Best Knife + Glove Combos From CS2 Dead Hand Collection

Since Valve added the CS2 Dead Hand Collection featuring 22 new Gloves, the community has been quick to put together the best knife and glove combos possible using the fresh combinations. We wanted to show you some of the best so far, in case you’re desperate to put together a slick knife and glove combo using the new CS2 Gloves.

Specialist Gloves Blackbook + Karambit Black Laminate

The Specialist Gloves Blackbook are the new meta when it comes to black and white CS2 loadouts. The pattern-based design features some slick graffiti artwork, but still looks extremely clean. Combine this with a Karambit Black Laminate for a perfect CS2 knife and glove combo from the Dead Hand Collection. The white hilt of the knife is a great contrast with the all-black blade.

Specialist Gloves Big Swell + Karambit Case Hardened

The Specialist Gloves Big Swell are my personal favorite new Gloves from the CS2 Dead Hand Collection. The Eastern-style artwork is more detailed than the older style of Counter-Strike Gloves, and the yellow and blue color scheme makes it a strong combo when used alongside the Karambit Case Hardened. You don’t even need a Karambit Blue Gem pattern for this Dead Hand Collection knife and glove combo to work. In fact, any pattern that has a good mix of yellow and blue on the knife will be a better match with the Big Swell Gloves.

Sport Gloves Occult + Karambit Lore

The Sport Gloves Occult and Karambit Lore might be my favorite knife and glove combo from the Dead Hand Collection. The red highlights from the Gloves really stand out, allowing the Karambit Lore to match the intricate patterns on the yellow gloves near-perfectly. To make this one a little more budget-friendly, you can even replace the Karambit with just about any CS2 knife.

Driver Gloves Wave Chaser + Talon Knife Doppler (Sapphire)

I can already see that people are going to seriously sleep on the Driver Gloves Wave Chaser. Another Eastern-inspired design, these Gloves are a joy to look at, with all the interesting details. If you use a Talon Knife Doppler (Sapphire), you get a blue blade that’s a perfect complement to the artwork on the gloves, with the knife’s white hilt a great match, too.

Driver Gloves Brocade Crane + Gut Knife Doppler (Ruby)

Who knew a Gut Knife could be so pretty? Take a Gut Knife Doppler (Ruby), and pair it with some Driver Gloves Brocade Crane. Bold reds are an instant standout, and while you can use any knife, the red hilt on the Gut Knife makes it the best choice for this CS2 Dead Hand Collection knife and glove combo.

Sport Gloves Violet Beadwork + Karambit Gamma Doppler (Phase 1)

Given the variety of colors on the Sport Gloves Violet Beadwork, finding a good knife and glove combo was always going to be difficult. The answer is the Karambit Gamma Doppler (Phase 1), which goes through the same cyan-blue-purple color range as the gloves.

Specialist Gloves Lime Polycam + Falchion Knife Gamma Doppler (Emerald)

The Specialist Gloves Lime Polycam are an excellent match for just about any green CS2 knife. My choice is the Falchion Knife Gamma Doppler (Emerald), but you can swap this out for just about any Emerald knife for a similar effect. Bright and bold.

Specialist Gloves Pillow Punchers + Stiletto Knife Urban Masked

For a perfect all-white combo with the CS2 Dead Hand Collection, flex the new Specialist Gloves Pillow Punchers alongside a classic Stiletto Knife Urban Masked. It’s very easy on the eye, and if you prefer another knife to the Stiletto, it should still look great.
