Flip Knife | Freehand

Origin Story

The Flip Knife | Freehand features a distinctive black and purple base, adorned with metallic marker lines that create a doodle-like pattern. This finish was introduced with the Gamma Exposure update on June 16, 2016, as part of the Gamma case knife set. It presents a mid to high-tier knife choice for players who appreciate its hand-drawn aesthetic. The Freehand design is applied as a fixed pattern, meaning its visual layout does not vary with a pattern index. Its unique visual identity makes it a notable option among knife skins.

Drop Chance

Flip Knife | Freehand 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 to 0.48. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn.

• Factory New ($220.40): The deep black and purple panels are fully intact, with the metallic white marker lines appearing crisp and bright across the blade.
• Minimal Wear ($209.27): The overall pattern and colors remain vibrant, with only minor chipping beginning to appear on the blade's tip and cutting edge.
• Field-Tested ($192.89): Edge wear becomes clearly visible with more exposed metal along the cutting edge and spine, though the main blade faces retain their purple and black base.
• Well-Worn ($203.83): The blade's tip and edges show significant wear with substantial exposed metal, and the doodle pattern can appear partially obscured in these areas.

Model

Freehand uses the legacy Flip Knife model, introduced with Gamma Exposure on June 16, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility

Knives do not have sticker slots for direct application, so sticker compatibility for the Flip Knife | Freehand focuses on overall loadout synergy. Its black, purple, and metallic white color scheme pairs well with stickers and weapon skins featuring purple, pink, white, silver, or monochrome themes.
