About the Bowie Knife
Bowie Knife is a Rare Special Item knife that drops from one of the 42 CS2 weapon cases, the Operation Wildfire Case.
Valve released the Operation Wildfire Case on 17 February 2016.
Each open has a 0.0200% chance (about 1 in 5,000) of pulling it, as one of 13 Rare Special Item finishes. One in ten of those drops is StatTrak.
It sits in tier 5 of 5 (Mil-Spec to Rare Special) and ranks #14 of 29 finishes in the Operation Wildfire Case by top-wear Steam price.
It sells for about $106.72, against $6.48 to open the Operation Wildfire Case (case plus $2.50 key), so it is worth more than one open.
