Bowie Knife | Scorched

Origin Story

The Bowie Knife | Scorched was introduced with the debut of the Bowie Knife itself as a new knife type, arriving on February 18, 2016, as part of the Operation Wildfire update. It features a spray-painted finish with a sun-dappled, scorched camouflage pattern, characterized by dark gray and brown/tan patches that create a burnt, soot-stained look. While not a status symbol or collector's centerpiece, it serves as a budget-friendly entry point for players seeking to own a Bowie Knife. This finish is often chosen for its large blade silhouette rather than its pattern quality or flashiness.

Drop Chance

Bowie Knife | Scorched 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 ($216.34): The sun-dappled pattern of dark gray, black, brown, and tan is fully intact across the large Bowie blade, with no visible scratch-through on edges or tip.
• Minimal Wear ($106.03): The blade retains its coherent scorched camouflage look, showing only minor chips or lightening on the cutting edge and tip under close inspection, making it a popular value pick.
• Field-Tested ($82.72): Noticeable edge wear and small patches of underlying metal appear along the cutting edge and tip, while the dark and tan colors become slightly more muted.
• Well-Worn ($80.50): Significant wear is present along the edges and spine, with larger areas of silvery base metal exposed, giving the blade a more heavily used appearance.
• Battle-Scarred ($91.63): Extensive paint loss along the edges, spine, and parts of the blade face reveals large dull-metal patches, with the remaining pattern looking very faded and blotchy.

Sticker Compatibility

Stickers cannot be applied to the Bowie Knife | Scorched, as knives do not support stickers in CS2. This means there are no preferred sticker placements or famous sticker crafts for this item. However, its dark gray, black, brown, and tan palette pairs well with earth-tone and camouflage-themed weapon skins and stickers on other items in a loadout.
