They switch to knives because it's a big flex. Nothing says 'I'm so confident I’m gonna win this round' like running around with a knife out. It's all about the mind games, making the other team second-guess themselves.

CS:GO players switch to their knives because it makes them move faster! In a game where every second counts, sprinting to the bomb site or making a quick escape can hinge on this speed boost. Plus, it looks pretty cool when done right.

Actually, the speed difference isn't that big. Players just think it does more than it actually does. Reality is, it's all about the style points and habits formed from seeing others do it.

It's not just about speed or style; switching to a knife in certain situations can save your life. If you're the last one standing and need to defuse the bomb ASAP, every millisecond counts. So, yes, pulling out that knife can be a tactical move too.
