Bowie Knife | Ultraviolet

Origin Story

The Bowie Knife | Ultraviolet was released on March 16, 2017, as part of the "Take a trip to the Canals" update. It features a design where individual parts are spray-painted in solid black and purple colors. This color scheme gives the knife an elegant yet brutal aesthetic, as described by its flavor text.

Drop Chance

Bowie Knife | Ultraviolet 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.
