★ Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh (Field-Tested)

★ Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh in Field-Tested (FT): a folding knife in CS2 in a pale sand-olive finish with a barely visible mesh pattern. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. Both the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case carry it. The finish comes in five wears, with a float from 0.06 to 0.80. This wear of the ★ Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh lies between 0.15 and 0.38.

What the ★ Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh looks like in Field-Tested

The finish is calm, with no bright patches: pale olive, with a sandy tint. On the blade a honeycomb mesh shows in raking light, while on the handle it almost merges with the background. The scales are light beige, with a ribbed insert at the base. Valve writes that the paint was applied from a spray can through stencils, a mesh fence and cardboard cutouts.

In Field-Tested, the light paint rubs off the point and the ribs of the scales and exposes the metal. Wear is determined at drop, and the paint does not rub off any further. The ★ Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh in this wear spans a long 0.15 to 0.38, so comparing several listings makes sense.

Where the ★ Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh came from

The Nomad came out on November 19, 2019, with the Shattered Web Case and operation: Valve named it as one of the four new knives of that case. The second case for the finish is the Fracture Case.

• pattern: two different patterns do not exist on the ★ Nomad Knife | Safari Mesh, so the choice has to be made by wear;


• applied name: a name tag can go on the Nomad, and the inscription stays on the item after the purchase.
