★ Bowie Knife | Freehand (Field-Tested)

The ★ Bowie Knife | Freehand in Field-Tested (FT) is a bowie with a purple blade scrawled over in white marker. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The cases that carry it are Operation Riptide and Dreams & Nightmares. The finish has five wears, but its float scale stops at 0.48, which leaves Battle-Scarred only the 0.45 to 0.48 band. Field-Tested spans 0.15 to 0.38, or 48% of the scale.

What the ★ Bowie Knife | Freehand looks like in Field-Tested

Valve says the blade was first painted black and purple, then drawn over with metallic marker. That is how the flat looks: white and silver lines, angular marks and arcs run thickly across a dark gray and purple field. The handle is black, while the guard and the end cap are purple.

Listings of the ★ Bowie Knife | Freehand between 0.15 and 0.38 differ noticeably in appearance. In CS2 wear settles first on the tip of the blade and on the saw.

• the applied name: a name tag can be put on a bowie, and the inscription outlives the purchase.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Bowie Knife | Freehand in this wear makes sense when:

• you want a bowie with white painting on purple, and every other wear of the finish costs more;


• it matters to take a listing with a low float from your band, since the numbers inside 0.15 to 0.38 give different looks;


• your CS2 loadout is built on purple and black, and the light painting on the blade serves as an accent.
