Origin Story

The Bowie Knife | Lore features a custom painted design with intricate knotwork, lending it an ornate and distinctive appearance.

The large blade of the Bowie Knife ensures that its gold pattern and spine are the most prominent visual elements during gameplay.

Sticker Compatibility

The Bowie Knife | Lore's gold blade with Celtic knotwork and dark handle lends itself to stickers in gold, yellow, green, or dark brown to complement its medieval fantasy aesthetic. Black or white minimalist stickers can also provide contrast when paired with a gold-themed loadout. As knives do not have sticker slots, "sticker compatibility" for this item refers to matching weapon skins within a cohesive loadout.
