Bowie Knife | Boreal Forest

Origin Story

The Bowie Knife | Boreal Forest was introduced on February 18, 2016, as part of the Operation Wildfire update, expanding the range of available knife finishes. Its design features a forest camouflage hydrographic, painting the large Bowie blade with muted greens, dark olive, brown, and dark gray tones. This finish is generally considered a budget-friendly option within the Bowie knife family, appealing to those who prefer a realistic military aesthetic over flashier designs. The broad upper blade surface and spine prominently display the camouflage pattern, making it a distinctive choice for players seeking a utilitarian look.

Drop Chance

Bowie Knife | Boreal Forest 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.
