Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh

Origin Story

The Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh was released on November 19, 2019, as part of the Operation Shattered Web update. Its design features a spray-painted pattern created with mesh fencing and cardboard stencils, giving it a utilitarian, camouflaged appearance. The flavor text, "A predator is a predator, no matter the environment," suggests its rugged, adaptable nature. This finish style emphasizes a practical, field-ready aesthetic.

Drop Chance

Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh 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 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($150.53): The spray-painted mesh pattern on the blade and handle is fully intact, showing no signs of wear.
• Minimal Wear ($117.45): Minor abrasions begin to appear on the edges of the handle, but the mesh pattern remains largely clean.
• Field-Tested ($110.08): Noticeable paint loss and scuffs develop on the handle and the blade's high-contact areas, while the stenciled pattern remains visible.
• Well-Worn ($111.51): Significant paint chipping and wear are present across the blade and handle, making the mesh pattern appear faded in places.
• Battle-Scarred ($115.00): The blade and handle show extensive paint degradation, with large areas worn down and the overall appearance heavily distressed.

Model
