Bowie Knife | Bright Water

Origin Story

The Bowie Knife | Bright Water, released on September 22, 2021, as part of the Operation Riptide update, features a blue camo hydrographic paint finish. This design ensures the knife is predominantly blue, with a camouflage pattern applied across its surface. The hydrographic style means the finish appears painted on, with wear typically showing on the edges and raised areas as float values increase.

Bowie Knife | Bright Water 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.
