★ Gut Knife | Freehand (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This is the gut knife with the purple, marker-drawn Freehand blade, in its most worn condition. Battle-Scarred sits in a narrow band at the very top of this skin's float range, so it is not much rougher than Well-Worn. Large parts of the edge and tip show steel, while the purple tone still survives on the flat of the blade.

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

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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 the whole finish: a dark base with large violet panels, covered by dense silvery and white marker drawings such as swirls, curls and lettering-like strokes. The spine, including the gut hook and the textured section behind it, is mostly dark and grey with fine metallic doodles.

The tip, cutting edge and gut hook are largely bare steel, and wear reaches further into the drawing. Because this grade covers only a narrow top band of the range, the look stays close to Well-Worn. In game the blade reads as grey and purple with a broken pattern. The flat of the blade near the handle keeps the most colour.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less steel at the tip.
• Look at the tip, cutting edge and gut hook in inspect, as these are the first places where the paint wears off.
• Compare screenshots of several copies, because the placement of the purple panels and drawings on the blade differs between them.
• Note whether the knife has StatTrak™ or a name tag if either matters to you.
