Bowie Knife | Night

Origin Story

The Bowie Knife | Night was introduced on February 18, 2016, as part of the Operation Wildfire update. This knife features a solid color finish, with individual parts spray-painted in a distinctive night operations color scheme. Its dark, muted aesthetic, characterized by a deep navy blue-black blade and a dark gray-black handle, gives it a tactical and understated appearance. The design focuses on a clean, minimalist look, making it a choice for players who prefer a stealthy, military-inspired knife over flashier options.

Drop Chance

Bowie Knife | Night 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 and handle maintain a uniformly dark and smooth appearance, with the night-ops blue-black tone at its richest and most consistent.
• Minimal Wear ($141.31): The blade remains very clean, with only small scratches or faint micro-chips potentially visible along the tip, cutting edge, or spine upon close inspection.
• Field-Tested ($92.76): Noticeable edge wear and chipping appear along the blade's cutting edge, tip, and spine, with some lighter metal exposure breaking up the solid dark look.
• Well-Worn ($90.55): Extensive chipping is present along the edges and around the tip, showing more of the underlying metal and giving the surface a mottled appearance.
• Battle-Scarred ($104.48): Heavy chipping covers most blade edges, revealing large areas of exposed base metal, which makes the dark night-ops look appear fragmented and heavily battered.

Model

Night uses the legacy Bowie Knife model, introduced with Operation Wildfire on February 18, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

How to Obtain

A StatTrak version is also available for kill tracking. Players can also purchase the skin directly from the Steam Community Market, third-party marketplaces, or case-opening sites.

Visual Theme

Solid Color: It has individual parts spray-painted solid colors in a night ops color scheme. The blade is a very dark navy or blue-black, complemented by a dark gray or black handle and hardware. From a first-person perspective, the broad Bowie blade face presents a large, dark, and almost uniform surface. This finish is often compared to vanilla or default-style black knives, valued for its low-key and clean appearance rather than being attention-grabbing.

Sticker Compatibility

The Bowie Knife | Night has no sticker slots, so sticker compatibility is only relevant for other Night-themed weapons in a loadout. Dark blue, navy, black, gray, and muted purple stickers complement its night-ops scheme, while white, silver, or light gray stickers can create high-contrast accents. There are no notable or named sticker crafts directly tied to this knife.
