★ Bowie Knife | Lore (Well-Worn)

The ★ Bowie Knife | Lore (Well-Worn) still carries the same custom knotwork artwork, but at a float where the steel shows clear signs of use. It's the second-most-worn of the finish's five grades, sitting just above Battle-Scarred on the ladder.

Design

Rather than a flat paint job, this finish paints dense knotwork directly onto the blade, and that same layout appears on every copy Valve ever produced. What changes from piece to piece is only the condition of the steel underneath it.

★ Bowie Knife | Lore (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Well-Worn covers roughly 0.38–0.45 on the finish's full 0.00–1.00 float scale, putting it near the high-float end. The knotwork remains recognizable, but the surrounding steel shows noticeably more scuffing and a duller finish than the grades below it.

Bowie Knife | Lore Rarity

This is still a Covert ★ item — the rare special ("knife") tier that outranks regular weapon drops from its case. That rarity status doesn't shift with wear; a Well-Worn copy is exactly as hard to pull as any other.

Bowie Knife | Lore Case and Collection

No single collection is attached to this finish; both the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case can produce it as a rare special drop. Since the rare-special tier only lands around 0.26% of the time either way, most Well-Worn copies get bought rather than unboxed.

Bowie Knife | Lore Patterns

Lore's knotwork is a fixed design, so there's no paint seed variation and no "best pattern" to chase, even at this wear. Every copy — from Factory New to Battle-Scarred — shows the identical artwork; only the surface condition differs.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists for this finish as well, tracking kills permanently regardless of trades or resale. No Souvenir version was ever made — knives don't get folded into Major-tournament souvenir drops.

Bowie Knife | Lore Price

Well-Worn prices below Field-Tested on the Lore's ladder, making it one of the more accessible grades of this finish while the finish as a whole still holds a mid-tier spot among this knife's lineup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the Bowie Knife Lore look at Well-Worn?

Well-Worn covers roughly 0.38–0.45 float, near the high end of the finish's full range, so the steel shows clear scuffing and a duller surface compared to cleaner grades. The knotwork pattern is still visible, just less crisp than on Factory New or Minimal Wear.

What's the most accessible way to own the Bowie Knife Lore?

Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred sit at the bottom of this finish's price ladder, making them the more accessible grades if a heavily-worn look doesn't bother you. Both still carry the same fixed knotwork design as every cleaner copy.

Does wear grade affect the Bowie Knife Lore's rarity?

No — rarity comes from pulling the Covert ★ rare special ("knife") slot itself, not from which wear grade the resulting copy lands on. A Well-Worn copy is just as rare a pull as a Factory New one; only the look and price differ.
