Yes, there are weapons considered more valuable than knives in CS:GO. The most prestigious and expensive items in the game are actually gloves, followed by certain rare knife skins.

While knives are highly sought after and can be worth thousands of dollars, factory new gloves from rare collections often command even higher prices in the marketplace. For example, a pair of Sport Gloves Vice (Factory New) can sell for over $20,000, significantly more than most knife skins.

Here's the general hierarchy of weapon value in CS:GO (from highest to lowest):

1. Rare Factory New Gloves
2. High-tier Knife Skins
3. Regular Gloves
4. Common Knife Skins
5. Gun Skins
6. Regular Weapons

It's important to note that individual item values can vary greatly based on:

- Wear condition (Factory New being the most valuable)
- Pattern variations
- Float value
- Rarity
- Special features (StatTrak™, Souvenir)
- Market demand

However, when it comes to actual gameplay impact, knives and gloves have the same utility value - they're purely cosmetic items. The only difference in gameplay terms is between different knife types, which have slightly varying attack speeds and damage values.

In terms of raw Steam Market price records, the most expensive CS:GO items ever sold have been ultra-rare glove skins, followed closely by special pattern knife skins like the StatTrak™ Karambit Case Hardened (Blue Gem).

Remember that prices in CS:GO's skin market are highly volatile and can change significantly over time, but the general hierarchy usually remains consistent with gloves at the top of the value chain.
