Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet

Origin Story

The Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet, released on April 3, 2025, as part of the Spring Forward update, features a matte black base with deep purple accents. Its individual parts are spray-painted in a solid black and purple color scheme, as described in its in-game description. This knife is recognized as a premium, color-matched black and purple option within the broader Ultraviolet knife family. The design is characterized by its elegant appearance paired with a brutal intent.

Drop Chance

Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet 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 (No Recent Price): The deep black base and vibrant purple accents are largely preserved, showing only faint micro-scratches or small nicks along the blade edges. This is the cleanest possible tier for the skin, effectively serving as the premium clean look.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable but moderate wear appears along the blade edge and tip, with the black base remaining fairly solid and the purple accents starting to soften slightly. This tier often represents a strong value pick, offering the recognizable Ultraviolet palette at a lower price.
• Well-Worn ($174.91): Heavy edge wear and more prominent scratching are visible across the blade, with the black base beginning to dull and the purple accents appearing clearly faded. The knife reads as obviously used in this condition.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): Extensive edge and surface wear covers the blade, showing large areas of exposed metal and heavy scratching, while the black appears washed-out and the purple accents are significantly desaturated. This tier is typically the most affordable entry point for the skin.

Model

Sticker Compatibility

As a knife, the Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet does not accept stickers. Its black and purple palette makes it suitable for loadouts featuring purple, pink, or black stickers on other weapon skins, especially those with holographic or magenta accents that complement the Ultraviolet theme.
