★ Flip Knife | Damascus Steel (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This skin's float range ends early, so even Battle-Scarred stays close to the Well-Worn look rather than turning into a wrecked blade. The pattern is faded and the steel is covered in scratches, yet the knife still reads as Damascus in hand. It is the most accessible way to own this ★ Flip Knife.

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.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The blade carries a grey Damascus pattern of flowing, layered lines that follow the curve from the base to the acute point. The spine near the base has a row of serrations, and the steel there shows the same wavy layers.

Scratches cover most of the blade, with the heaviest wear on the edge, tip and serrations. The Damascus pattern is faded but still faintly visible. Because the range ends early, the blade does not become fully stripped. The handle keeps its olive texture.
