Origin Story

The Huntsman Knife | Freehand, released on September 22, 2021, as part of Operation Riptide, features a distinctive black and purple design decorated with a metallic marker. This finish applies a doodle-style pattern across the blade, giving it a hand-drawn graffiti appearance. It is recognized for its unique visual identity and is often chosen by players who appreciate its dark, artistic aesthetic. The knife is a notable option within the Freehand family, offering a specific style for those building coordinated loadouts.

Drop Chance

Huntsman Knife | Freehand is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Sticker Compatibility

While knives do not have sticker slots, the Huntsman Knife | Freehand's black and purple base with metallic white lines makes it an excellent thematic pairing for weapon skins and stickers in purple, pink, or white/silver. This allows for cohesive loadouts where the knife's aesthetic is echoed by stickers on primary weapons, enhancing the overall visual theme.
