★ Classic Knife | Scorched (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Scorched pairs a smoky gradient with pale blotches along the edge, and in Battle-Scarred much of that paint has worn down to grey steel. What remains reads as patchy, scorched remnants, which suits the name of the finish. It is the most affordable way to carry this knife model with this paint.

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.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The blade carries a smoky spray-paint gradient that moves from slate blue near the spine to darker grey across the flat. Along the cutting edge runs a band of irregular cream and beige blotches, sprayed so that they look sun-bleached or burnt.

Large areas of the edge, tip and spine are worn down to steel, and the blotch band survives only in fragments. The guard shows clear wear on its raised parts. In normal view the blade reads as grey steel with patchy smoky remnants. Some of the gradient still clings to the middle of the blade.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float within the grade keeps the edge and tip noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the tip and the cutting edge in the preview, as these parts lose paint first and cut into the pale blotch band.
• Look at how the blotches fall along the edge, because their placement varies between copies.
• Note whether the knife is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag.
