Paracord Knife | Safari Mesh

Origin Story

The Paracord Knife | Safari Mesh, released on November 19, 2019, as part of the Operation Shattered Web update, features a muted camouflage pattern applied with stencils. This Spray-Paint finish gives the blade a dusty, utilitarian look, characterized by olive green, tan, and gray tones. Its in-game description notes that it was "spray-painted using mesh fencing and cardboard cutouts as stencils." The knife's handle, wrapped in paracord strands, provides a darker contrast to the blade's pale, mottled surface. This skin is often considered a budget-friendly option for players seeking to own a Paracord Knife.

Drop Chance

Paracord 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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Minimal Wear ($70.41): The blade retains most of its original olive and tan camo, with only minor lightening along the extreme edge and tip. Minimal Wear is effectively the top-end condition for this knife, as Factory New is not available.
• Field-Tested ($64.00): Noticeable fading appears along the cutting edge, tip, and spine, with some of the underlying darker metal starting to show through the spray layer. Field-Tested is often considered the value tier for Safari Mesh knives, offering a balance of appearance and price.
• Well-Worn ($63.68): More extensive edge and spine wear is present, with larger stretches of darker base metal exposed, especially near the tip. The spray pattern becomes quite faded, making the blade look more like a dirty gray or green metal.
• Battle-Scarred ($63.03): The blade looks heavily faded and dark, with much of the spray layer attenuated, and the camo mesh effect can be barely visible in some spots. Battle-Scarred variants are typically the cheapest knife options available for this skin.

Model

Safari Mesh uses the legacy Paracord Knife model, introduced with Operation Shattered Web on November 19, 2019. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility

The Paracord Knife | Safari Mesh, with its muted olive, tan, and gray camo, pairs well with military or neutral-toned stickers for a cohesive loadout. As a knife skin, it does not have sticker slots for direct application. The skin's role in the market is primarily as a budget option, and there are no widely recognized loadout crafts or themed inventories centered around it.
