The CS2 Bowie Knife is one of the most unique blades in Counter-Strike. First appearing in Operation Wildfire (2016), it stands out because of its size and shape, inspired by classic American frontier knives. The Bowie Knife animations in CS2 emphasize its weight. At first, it was less in demand than more compact knives. Over time, however, collectors and players began to appreciate its unique presence (especially finishes like Doppler, Gamma Doppler, Fade, and Marble Fade). The Bowie is one of the most versatile knives in terms of pricing: skins like Safari Mesh are accessible to new traders, while options like Gamma Doppler Bowie Knife Emerald CS2 or Doppler Ruby are worth thousands.

There are more than 25 different Bowie Knife skins, all Covert-tier. Highlights include:

Bowie Knife skins can be unboxed from several cases (like CS2 Bowie Knife Case Hardened):

Operation Wildfire Bowie Knife Case CS2 (includes a broad range of Bowie skins).
Spectrum Case and Spectrum 2 Case (include finishes like CS2 Bowie Knife Doppler, Marble Fade, CS2 Factory New Damascus Steel Bowie Knife, etc).
Dreams & Nightmares Case and Operation Riptide Case (include high-end Doppler and Bowie Knife Lore CS2 paints).

All Bowie Knife skins are classified as Covert (knife-tier), the rarest category in case drops.

The odds of getting a Knife Bowie CS2 are roughly 0.26% for standard ones, and a mere 0.026% for StatTrak versions.

When it comes to Bowie Knife CS2 prices, lowest-tier skins like Scorched and Safari Mesh start around $110-120. High-end knives (especially ultra-rare variants like Stained, CS2 Bowie Knife Gamma Doppler Emerald, or StatTrak) can cost anywhere from $400 to over $12,000, depending on pattern and float.
