Survival Knife | Ultraviolet

Origin Story

The Survival Knife | Ultraviolet, released on April 3, 2025, with the Spring Forward update, features individual parts spray-painted in a black and purple color scheme. This elegant design is paired with a brutal intent, as its flavor text suggests. The knife's visual identity is defined by these deep black and purple tones, characteristic of the Ultraviolet family. As a new Survival Knife finish, its demand is primarily driven by players seeking a black-and-purple knife theme for their loadouts.

Drop Chance

Survival 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 ($114.00): The deep black and purple paint on the blade and handle are almost fully intact, showing only small edge micro-scratches.
• Field-Tested ($89.39): Small but visible wear spots appear on the tip, cutting edge, and spine, with tiny chips that slightly break up the solid black and purple.
• Well-Worn ($94.21): Wear patches on the blade become larger and more continuous, with noticeable fading and chipping along much of the blade's circumference and parts of the handle.
• Battle-Scarred ($83.14): Significant portions of the blade's edges and flat face are heavily chipped, with substantial underlying material exposed that fragments the solid Ultraviolet color blocks.

Sticker Compatibility
