Navaja Knife | Safari Mesh

Origin Story

The Navaja Knife | Safari Mesh, released on August 3, 2018, with the A New Horizon update, features a spray-painted finish. Its muted khaki, olive drab, and beige tones create a washed-out camouflage pattern, achieved by stenciling with mesh fencing and cardboard cutouts. The in-game flavor text, "A predator is a predator, no matter the environment," reinforces its utilitarian, hunter-themed aesthetic. This knife is primarily known as a budget-friendly option, appealing to those who prefer a low-key, non-flashy appearance over more ornate designs.

Drop Chance

Navaja Knife | Safari Mesh 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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Minimal Wear ($64.70): The mesh camo pattern is mostly intact with clear khaki and olive drab tones, showing only faint nicks along the blade's edges.
• Field-Tested ($55.97): Noticeable edge wear appears on the blade and tip, where the muted camo pattern thins and begins to show a lighter underlayer.
• Well-Worn ($53.77): Large areas of chipping and fading are present on exposed edges and mid-blade sections, making the camo pattern patchy and washed out.
• Battle-Scarred ($61.84): Extensive paint loss and heavy wear cover the blade, with large sections of the original mesh pattern faded or missing, exposing a dull metal surface.

Model

Safari Mesh uses the legacy Navaja Knife model, introduced with A New Horizon on August 3, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility

Knives in CS2 do not have sticker slots, so traditional sticker crafting does not apply directly to the Navaja Knife | Safari Mesh. Instead, players coordinate this knife with stickers on their guns and with their gloves. The muted khaki, olive, and grey color palette of the Safari Mesh finish pairs well with military and camo-style stickers in green, brown, tan, and other earth tones, as well as minimalist black or grey stickers.
