Highlights

  • There are over 140 VALORANT melee skins across Select, Deluxe, Premium, Exclusive, and Ultra tiers.
  • Prices range from 1,750 VP to 5,950 VP, with Night Market discounts on eligible skins.
  • Battle pass and Champions knives are limited-time and do not return to the store.

In VALORANT, your knife is more than just a tool. With no agent skins in the game, a melee skin is one of the only ways to flex against your opponents in style. From minimalist Select-tier blades to over-the-top Ultra-tier showpieces, Riot has released over a hundred melee skins since the game’s release. 

If you are interested in grabbing one of the cosmetics the game has to offer, this VALORANT knife skins 2026 guide has you covered. Let’s take a look at every melee skin you can get as of VALORANT Season V26, Act One (Patch 12.02). This guide organizes VALORANT melee skins by price tier and acquisition type, helping you understand what you’re actually paying for, and which ones are worth chasing in your shop rotation.

VALORANT Knife Skins 2026: All Tiers and Prices

Melee skins fall into Riot’s standard cosmetic tiers:

  • Select (1,750 VP): Basic models, no upgrades or variants
  • Deluxe (2,550 VP): Improved models, still no major visual effects (VFX)
  • Premium (3,550–4,350 VP): Custom animations, VFX, special effects (SFX), color variants
  • Exclusive (4,950–5,350 VP): Unique inspect mechanics, themed audio
  • Ultra (5,950 VP): Highly interactive or transformative models

You can get the skins using VALORANT Points (VP), which is the premium in-game currency. Riot Games applies regional pricing to it, so you need to check your in-game store to find out how much you need to spend. On top of the paid skins, you can also obtain battle pass melees.  VALORANT battle pass knife skins are available only for a limited time and never return to the store or Night Market.
