Channel Collection: Best Skins

Counter-Strike 2 has several Collectibles tied to specific maps (some are no longer in the game). The Kanal Collection is one of them. And to be honest, this Collection is far from a boring collection of skins like the Aztec Collection for example. The Canals collection features one of the most expensive skins in the game and some real beauties. The CS.MONEY blog shows them all and mentions the best.

All these skins can be purchased at CS.MONEY now! Follow the link in the title and buy what you want.

Canal Map

The Canals collection is inspired by the map of the same name, which takes inspiration from the most famous city on the water, Venice. The collection includes 18 stunning skins, each reflecting the spirit of the legendary Italian city.

MAG-7 Cinquedea

Cinquedea is a wide dagger that comes from northern Italy, specifically Venice. The name translates as “five fingers”, referring to the unique width of the blade, which is essentially five fingers wide. These triangular-shaped daggers were carried by commoners and nobles alike, often decorated with ivory hilts or carvings on the blade itself.

Although the MAG-7 is as short as a dagger, the MAG-7 Cinquedea has nothing to do with an actual weapon. Instead, its appearance resembles the interior of an ornate Italian cathedral. The decorative elements along the sides of the gun look more like ceramic than steel or polymer, giving the leather a unique character.

AWP The Prince

The rarest skin in The Canals Collection, AWP The Prince, has a graceful design. The base is red like a Roman emperor’s tunic, while gold and Latin text decorate the top. At first glance, it may seem that it has nothing to do with Venice, but upon closer inspection, you can spot subtle references.

The scope is decorated with a cross, a design element reminiscent of the famous Doge’s Palace in Venice. Additionally, the Latin inscription “Peace to you, Marcus, my evangelist” refers to Saint Mark, patron of Venice, whose lion adorns the city’s flag.

Red Filigree MAC-10, Orange Filigree SSG 08, Dark Filigree P250

The remaining new skins from The Canals Collection can be grouped by similar names and themes. One group includes three skins inspired by the filigree jewelry technique.

  • MAC-10 Red Filigree
  • SSG 08 Orange Filigree
  • P250 Dark Filigree

Venetian filigree was widespread throughout Europe during the golden age of the Republic. Although this leather only vaguely resembles works made with this technique, it still has a connection to Italian tradition and culture.

MP9 Stained Glass, G3SG1 Violet Murano, Tec-9 Orange Murano, AUG Navy Murano

Another group of four skins have the same theme: MP9 Stained Glass, G3SG1 Violet Murano, Tec-9 Orange Murano, and AUG Navy Murano. Their name refers to the manufacture of Murano glass, one of the largest industries in the Venetian archipelago.

The famous Murano glass, produced on the island since the 13th century, was considered the pinnacle of fashion throughout Europe for centuries. It is a true treasure, with its production secrets guarded at state level; trying to sell this secret is punishable by death! Canals Collection leather embodies the dynamic and whimsical patterns that are characteristic of this unique art form.

Boroque Negev Sand, Baroque Red P90, Baroque Purple AK-47, Orange Baroque Nova

The final leather branch in the Collection is Baroque. As the name suggests, its appearance reflects the Baroque architectural style which is famous for its splendor, symmetry and luxurious ornamentation.

This skin design captures this aesthetic, combining dozens of small, symmetrical elements into a larger composition. For example, the pattern on the AK-47 Baroque Purple can easily be imagined as part of the interior of a 16th century Venetian noble house.

Although only a few skins from The Canals Collection are directly related to Venice, the entire collection exudes a sense of elegance and history. With a mix of Italian Renaissance and Baroque styles, this leather—both expensive and affordable—looks luxurious and intricate.
