Why are some knives much cheaper than others?
Knife prices depend on the knife type, the finish and the wear. Plain finishes in Battle-Scarred or Well-Worn cost the least, while Fades, Dopplers and Factory New wears cost the most.
Is the Steam Market price the same as the cash price?
No. Steam Market prices are paid in Steam Wallet money, which you cannot withdraw, so they usually sit above cash marketplace prices for the same knife.
