Want to finally buy a knife skin but my budget is around 500. Everything I look at is either trash quality or way over that. Any suggestions?

Bayonets are pretty solid in that range. They look good without costing as much as butterfly or karambit knives

Bayonet Freehand is actually a great choice under 500. Read about it on https://follownews.com/the-best-bayo...onet-freehand/ and it seems like one of the best values in that price bracket. The design stands out and it's not super common so you won't see everyone else running the same thing. Just check the float before buying because condition affects how clean it looks. For your budget that's probably your best bet without compromising on quality
