★ Falchion Knife | Damascus Steel (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Falchion Knife carries a calm monochrome Damascus finish: wavy silver and graphite lines that imitate folded steel. In Minimal Wear the pattern reads practically the same as on a Factory New copy, with only faint marks that need a close look to find. It is a sensible way to get a near-clean knife without paying for the top grade.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The blade is covered edge to edge with a Damascus pattern of flowing silver and dark grey wave lines that follow the curve toward the clip point tip. The pivot area carries a darker polished metal plate with visible screws, which stands apart from the patterned surfaces.

Light marks may appear near the tip and along the cutting edge. They are small and mostly hidden by the busy wave texture. At normal distance in game the knife reads the same as a Factory New copy. The handle, the pivot plate and the middle of the blade stay clean.
