★ Classic Knife | Safari Mesh (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Classic Knife | Safari Mesh is a spray-painted camouflage finish in muted olive and sage, with pale sandy blotches running along the blade like a fence-mesh stencil. In Factory New the paint covers the whole knife evenly and the soft tonal shifts across the blade stay intact. It is a quiet, field-style look for a buyer who wants the Classic Knife shape without bright colour.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Appearance in Factory New

The blade is painted in olive and sage green with darker tonal clouds, while pale sandy blotches with ragged, wavy outlines run along the spine and through the middle of the blade. The sharpened edge and the tip carry a lighter, almost metallic band that frames the camouflage. The guard is solid olive, and the handle is a pale greenish beige with a checkered grip section and a lanyard hole at the pommel. On worn copies the paint goes first from the cutting edge, the tip and the spine, then from the raised edges of the guard and the checkering on the handle.

The paint is complete on the blade, guard and handle, with no exposed metal anywhere. The soft transitions between the greens and the sandy blotches are fully visible. In game the knife reads as an even, muted camouflage. The float range of this skin does not reach the very lowest values, so even the cleanest copies are the standard Factory New look.
