★ Bowie Knife | Ultraviolet (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

★ Bowie Knife | Ultraviolet is recognisable by its dark blade with serrated spine and the purple guard and pommel cap. In Field-Tested the black paint starts to lift along the edge and the spine teeth, revealing bare steel in thin lines. Many players like this grade because the light metal against the dark coating gives the knife a used, practical character.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The blade is painted a dark charcoal-black from the clip point to the guard, with a lighter ground bevel along the cutting edge and the sawback teeth on the spine. The guard is solid purple, as is the cap on the pommel.

Bare steel shows as clear lines along the edge, the tip and the sawback teeth. Some scratches spread onto the flat of the blade near the edge. The purple guard and pommel may get small chips at their outer points while the grip stays mostly intact. In first person the worn edge is visible during inspect but does not break the colour scheme.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float within the wear grade, since a low value keeps the edge and spine teeth noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the cutting edge, tip and sawback teeth first, as these lose paint before anything else.
• Check the purple guard and pommel cap for chips, because they carry the skin's accent colour.
• Note whether the knife is StatTrak™ and whether it has a name tag, as both change how the item reads.
