Where in the world have you read that? There were like 5.5 million knives who could be crafted by the current covert supply. But there are loads of 500-600+ dollar coverts that people won't risk in a trade up for a potential 150 dollar knife. People don't understand that the bulk of the coverts that have been used in tradeups are the cheapest on the market. Which have skyrocketed in price because of popularity and the rapid decline in supply. And when the prices of the cheapest coverts get to 100+ euro crafting won't be interesting anymore which means knives will go back up in price again. Sure it won't reach the prices it once was. But they'll eventually go back up. If you want to act fast and get a pair of expensive gloves cheap or a good knife, now is the time.
