★ Huntsman Knife | Bright Water (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The Battle-Scarred Huntsman Knife | Bright Water shows the most steel of all grades, with the camo thinned at the edges and patchy around the tip and spine. Because this skin's float range ends early, even the most worn copies keep a fair amount of blue on the blade. It is the most accessible way to carry this knife while keeping its colour recognisable.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The blade, from the tanto point to the serrated spine, is covered in a blotchy camouflage of deep navy, medium blue and pale teal-grey, with light silver speckles near the tip and cutting edge that are visible even on a clean copy. The same print continues onto the finger guard with its lanyard hole, so the blue wraps around the front of the handle.

This grade shows the most exposed steel: the edge, the tip, the spine and the guard are heavily scuffed and the camo thins out towards the edges. Because the float range ends early, the heaviest damage seen on other skins does not occur here. In game the blade reads as a weathered blue knife with plenty of silver showing. The central part of the blade still keeps blue patches, and the black grip looks the same as on cleaner copies.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a copy near the cleaner end of its grade shows noticeably less steel at the edge and tip.
• Inspect the cutting edge, tip and sawback teeth, as these lose paint first on this finish.
• Look at how the dark and light blue patches fall on the blade, because the hydrographic placement shifts between copies.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ version, since it exists for this knife and changes the offer you are comparing.
