★ Falchion Knife | Black Laminate (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Black Laminate is recognisable by its contrast of grey stonewashed steel and a striped black-and-cream handle. In Field-Tested the stonewashed blade hides most of the wear, while the handle edges start to show light scuffs. In hand during a match it still reads as a neat, understated knife.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The curved clip point blade has a stonewashed grey finish with a mottled, uneven texture across the whole surface. The bolster and frame are dark grey steel with visible pins and a slightly lighter edge outline.

Light scuffs become visible along the handle edges and around the finger grooves. The bolster shows a few scratches at its corners. The stonewashed blade still looks largely the same, since its texture blends with wear. In game the knife reads as clean, with the striped handle pattern fully legible.
