★ Gut Knife | Damascus Steel (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The finish of ★ Gut Knife | Damascus Steel is built on a steel texture, which handles use better than painted designs. In Well-Worn the blade looks noticeably scuffed and the pattern is softer, yet the knife keeps its grey-and-wood character. It suits buyers who want this knife at a lower entry point.

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, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The whole blade carries a grey damascus pattern of fine wavy layers, from the tip to the ricasso and up the spine with its gut hook and serrations. The cutting edge is a lighter polished band that frames the pattern along the belly of the blade.

Scratches cover a larger part of the blade, including the flat surface between edge and spine. The damascus lines look softer and less defined, and the hook shows clear rubbing. In game the knife looks used, though the steel pattern is still recognisable.
