★ Skeleton Knife | Safari Mesh (Factory New)

The ★ Skeleton Knife | Safari Mesh (Factory New) is a Covert knife finish sprayed through mesh fencing and cardboard cutouts to leave a stenciled gray camo pattern across the blade. Factory New is the lowest-float grade this finish comes in, so that stenciled texture reads at its sharpest here.

Design

Paint was applied through mesh fencing and cardboard cutouts used as makeshift stencils, leaving a layered, irregular gray camo texture down the steel. The finish carries a fitting flavor line: "A predator is a predator, no matter the environment."

★ Skeleton Knife | Safari Mesh (Factory New) Float and Wear

Safari Mesh runs from 0.06 to 0.80 float, so Factory New is the cleanest of the finish's five available grades rather than a true 0.00 start. It covers the 0.06–0.07 band, the lowest slice on offer, where the stenciled mesh pattern shows crisp edges with no surface haze softening the lines.

Skeleton Knife | Safari Mesh Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — a rare special ("knife") item, the gold-tier drop from its case pool rather than an ordinary weapon skin. Getting any knife at all from a case opening is already a long shot before the finish comes into play.

Skeleton Knife | Safari Mesh Case and Collection

Safari Mesh is one of the finish options this knife can roll, obtainable from a wide range of cases, including the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case among others. Knives as a whole drop at roughly 0.26% per case opening, so most copies people own were bought on the market rather than pulled directly.

Skeleton Knife | Safari Mesh Patterns

This finish has a fixed design — the paint-seed index doesn't change how the stenciled mesh camo looks, and every copy carries the same layout across the blade. There's no blue-gem seed or "best pattern" to chase here; wear and float are the only things separating one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This knife comes as both a regular and a StatTrak version, the latter tracking confirmed kills with a counter that stays with the item through every trade or sale. There is no Souvenir Safari Mesh — knives are never handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or collection.

Skeleton Knife | Safari Mesh Price

Factory New sits at the low-float end of the Safari Mesh's own price ladder, priced above every worse-condition copy. Across this knife's full finish lineup it's an upper-mid pick — genuinely one of the pricier finishes, well above the entry-level options. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the extra cost on Safari Mesh?

Since the stenciled mesh pattern is fixed regardless of wear, the visual gap between Factory New and Minimal Wear is fairly small — mostly sharper edges and no surface haze at all. The premium mostly buys you bragging rights on the lowest float number rather than a dramatically different look.

What are the best gloves for the Skeleton Knife | Safari Mesh?

Muted gray, tan, or olive gloves complement the camo texture without overpowering it, while a matte black pair keeps things understated and tactical. For the best Skeleton Knife Safari Mesh glove combo, lean toward earthy neutrals and avoid bright, glossy colors that clash with the stenciled camo look.

How rare is this finish compared to other knife skins?

Every knife pull is rare on its own — the whole category lands at roughly 0.26% per case opening — and Safari Mesh specifically ranks upper-mid within this knife's own lineup, meaning it's already one of the pricier picks rather than a starter option.
