★ Falchion Knife | Ultraviolet (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Falchion Knife | Ultraviolet pairs a near-black blade and grip with blocks of saturated purple on the bolster and pommel. In Factory New the dark paint stays unbroken, so the knife reads as a clean two-tone silhouette with no steel showing through. This condition starts just above the bottom of the float range, so the Factory New band is narrow.

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

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The curved clip-point blade is painted a flat dark grey that reads almost black. The bolster and the front section of the handle carry a solid block of saturated purple, which breaks the dark silhouette where the hand sits. The rest of the grip is black, with purple returning on the pommel and inside the curved finger cut-out. As a plain spray-painted finish, it wears by exposing light steel: first along the spine and the tip of the blade, then on the cutting edge and the raised edges of the handle. The purple parts lose paint later, mostly on the corners and outer edges.

The dark paint covers the blade completely, including the spine and the tip. The purple bolster and pommel have crisp edges with no chips. In game the knife shows a clean black blade and a solid purple block on the handle. Every part looks fresh.
