Knife and glove crafts

How to read the list

The second kind of contract: five Covert skins give a knife or gloves from the inputs’ collection. The float rule is the same, only the average is taken over five.

Covert can be crafted too: a chain from Classified takes 50 items, from Restricted — 500 (the “Steps” filter). Any other — even from Consumer — is calculated by the chain builder.

The pool is large — five knife models with thirteen finishes each — so the point of the contract is the average over the whole pool, not “hitting the one you want”.

Craft (trade-up contract) — ten items of one rarity turn into one item of the next rarity from the same collections. Which one drops is chance, but the odds and the float of the outcome are computed exactly.

Invest — how much the inputs cost at the cheapest lots. Returns — the average over all outcomes after the Steam 15% fee. Profit — their difference, on average over many crafts. Chance of profit — the share of outcomes that pay for the input on their own.

Buy float — the strictest wear requirement among the inputs: lots with a float above this number don’t fit. “Any lot” — no need to choose.

Before buying, open the craft and press «Check floats on Steam»: the site will look at real listings and recalculate the profit.

Calculated in total: 50 458 · the search went through 43 710 pairs in 2205 s.
The gain here is understated, not overstated. Steam has a price ceiling, and expensive knives are not listed on the market at all: such an outcome is counted at the cheapest listing on CSFloat or Market.CSGO minus their fee (the outcome says “sell on …”), and where there is no price there either — as zero, so the true expected value can be higher than shown.

No profitable craft that can be assembled under these conditions: not enough market lots, or the profit rests on resale and no-deal prices. The full list is below.
