Nomad Knife | ★ Vanilla

Origin Story

The Nomad Knife, introduced with Operation Shattered Web on November 19, 2019, quickly established itself as a mid to high-tier knife choice among newer operation knives. The vanilla version of the Nomad Knife is favored by collectors and minimalists who appreciate the default blade shape without a colored finish, highlighting its clean, unpainted look. Its distinctive deploy and inspect animation, where the blade appears to flip out from the handle, is a signature feature across all Nomad Knife variants. This knife is a rare special item, prized for its utilitarian blade profile and neutral metal tones.

Drop Chance

Nomad Knife | ★ is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.00 to 1.00. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in all wear tiers.

• Factory New ($198.65): The blade appears bright and relatively clean, with minimal visible scratches on the main faces; edges are sharp and the metal looks fresh.
• Minimal Wear ($198.65): The metal remains visibly clean, but small scratches and slight dulling start to appear, especially on edges and near the tip.
• Field-Tested ($198.65): Surface scratches and general dulling of the blade become more visible, including broader scuff areas on the blade face.
• Well-Worn ($198.65): Scratches cover larger portions of the blade, with clear wear on edges and potential spotting or discoloration in certain areas.
• Battle-Scarred ($198.65): The blade shows heavy wear, with extensive scratching, notable dulling, and possible dark patches, consistent with high-float vanilla knives.

Sticker Compatibility

As a knife skin, the Nomad Knife | ★ has no sticker slots, meaning sticker color compatibility and placement preferences are not applicable to this item. All sticker-related aesthetics would come from accompanying weapon skins rather than the knife itself.
