Flip Knife | Safari Mesh

Origin Story

The Flip Knife | Safari Mesh, released on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update, is characterized by its muted, spray-painted camouflage pattern. Its design uses mesh fencing and cardboard cutouts as stencils, resulting in a soft, diffuse pattern across the blade. This finish is often considered a low-profile option, appealing to players who prefer a less flashy aesthetic for their knife. As a classic knife finish, it is not tied to a specific map collection or Operation.

Drop Chance

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

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The blade shows a full, uniform khaki, olive drab, and sand-beige camo mesh pattern with crisp, continuous coverage and minimal scratches.
• Minimal Wear ($189.99): The camo pattern is very similar to Factory New, but slight dulling and tiny chips begin to appear on the blade edge and tip.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable edge wear on the blade and tip is present, with parts of the camo pattern looking faded or thinned, especially along the leading edge.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Large portions of the blade's edge and some flat areas show significant paint loss, with the camo mesh pattern partially missing or very faded in these zones.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): The blade shows extensive chipping and exposed metal, with the mesh pattern interrupted or missing across large portions of the edge and tip, giving it a heavily worn, utilitarian appearance.

Model

Safari Mesh uses the legacy Flip Knife model, introduced with The Arms Deal on August 14, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility

The Flip Knife | Safari Mesh, with its muted khaki, olive, beige, and gray palette, pairs well with military, camouflage, green, tan, brown, or earth-tone stickers, as well as subtle black or white logos. Knives do not have sticker slots, so any compatibility is indirect, often coordinating with glove and gun crafts. No specific famous crafts are associated with this knife.
