Nomad Knife | Night Stripe

Origin Story

The Nomad Knife | Night Stripe was introduced to CS2 on November 19, 2019, as part of the Operation Shattered Web update, expanding the game's arsenal with a new knife model. Its design features a spray-painted, tape-masked pattern in dark blues, charcoals, and muted grays, creating a night operations color scheme. This finish is considered a mid-tier or budget-friendly Nomad option, appealing to players who prefer a military-style, low-profile look over flashy patterns. It functions as a tactical, functionally colored knife that fits seamlessly into "night ops" or dark loadouts.

Drop Chance

Nomad Knife | Night Stripe 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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Minimal Wear ($177.49): The night-ops stripe pattern is largely intact and crisp, with dark blue, charcoal, and muted gray colors retaining good vibrancy and only subtle edge wear appearing at the tip, spine, and handle edges. This tier represents the cleanest possible look for the skin, making it the premium visual tier.
• Field-Tested ($135.20): Moderate wear appears along the front edge, tip, and spine, with more of the underlying metal showing through the dark blue and charcoal colors, and the pattern looks slightly washed and scuffed compared to Minimal Wear.
• Well-Worn ($144.58): Heavy chipping along blade edges and the tip reveals large patches of bare metal on the spine and sometimes the central blade area, while the night-ops stripes appear noticeably faded.
• Battle-Scarred ($131.46): Extensive wear results in large areas of bare metal, especially on the blade tip, spine, and handle, with the remaining dark blue, charcoal, and muted gray paint appearing patchy and very muted.

Visual Theme

Spray-Paint: It has been spray-painted with a tape mask pattern in a night ops color scheme. This finish features dark blues, charcoal, and muted grays arranged in layered stripe bands. The broad blade of the Nomad Knife ensures the stripe pattern is clearly visible during first-person gameplay and inspections. It is typically compared to other Night Stripe skins and dark tactical knives like Boreal Forest for its low-profile, mil-sim aesthetic.

Sticker Compatibility

Knives do not have sticker slots, so sticker compatibility focuses on pairing with other weapon crafts, gloves, and agents. The Nomad Knife | Night Stripe works well with dark, cold-colored stickers, including blues, purples, black/gray, and subtle holo blues that echo its night-ops palette. It also complements military and tactical themed stickers due to its camo-like appearance.
