How the skin looks in Factory New

The back-swept blade is covered in a hydrographic camo of irregular blotches in navy, mid-blue and pale grey-blue, running from the guard to the acute point. The serrated section of the spine near the handle and the cutting edge show a thin line of polished steel. The handle is painted solid blue, with diagonal grooves and a textured surface that keep the same cool tone as the blade. On worn copies the paint goes first at the tip, along the cutting edge and on the serrations, then on the raised ridges of the handle.

The camo is intact across the whole blade, with sharp borders between the blue tones. The tip and serrations are fully painted. The handle keeps an even blue with no lighter spots on the ridges. In game the knife looks exactly like the preview.
