★ Classic Knife | Crimson Web (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Crimson Web in Battle-Scarred keeps the idea of a red blade with a black web, but much of the blade is now bare steel. Red remains in patches, mostly in the centre of the blade, and the web survives as fragments. It is the most affordable way to own this ★ Classic Knife finish.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The blade is covered in a deep red base coat with a thin black spider web hydrographic running across both faces. Along the cutting edge and near the tip the finish breaks into lighter steel-coloured areas with a wavy outline, which frame the red field.

Large parts of the edge, tip and spine are bare steel, and the red survives mainly as patches on the flat of the blade. The web remains only in fragments within those patches. In game the knife reads as steel with red blotches rather than a solid red blade. The dark guard and handle still look comparatively clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float within the wear range, since lower values keep more red at the edge and tip.
• Look at the web placement on the blade, because the pattern position changes how clean and centred the web looks.
• Inspect the cutting edge, tip and spine, as these are the first places where the red coat wears off.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or carries a name tag, as both affect what you are buying.
