The Oni Claw is one of the most unique daggers, and represents the Oni mythology from Japan very well. Ruin's black and gold scheme, with a double bladed design certainly make it eye-catching. As for Smite, the lightning flowing through the blue knife makes for a very cool visual.

Glitchpop has one of the most entertaining color schemes in the game, With the purple, blue, black, and gold melding together it could have easily ended up a mess, but instead, it turned out pretty beautiful. As for Nebula, the astral, galaxy vibe it has makes it stand out. With the almost eye-looking design at the hilt, it has a very fun air of mystery in its design. As for Imperium, it's a dagger that feels as if it came out of imperial China itself. The dragon head on it makes it a feast for your senses.

Tier 1 - The Best

The two best of the best, and two of the most popular skins for a reason. The Reaver set was a highly anticipated skin set that did not disappoint when it came out. The gothic, serrated edge of the knife works perfectly with Omen's broodiness. As for the Sovereign dagger, it looks like a weapon from middle earth. It's a simple design, but its regalness makes it stand out.
