★ Huntsman Knife | Urban Masked (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Huntsman Knife | Urban Masked is a Covert knife finish with a grey-and-white camouflage, spray-painted through a stencil of tangled masking tape. In Factory New the tape outlines stay sharp and the pale paint covers the blade evenly from the Tanto point to the guard. This grade suits a buyer who wants the camo exactly as designed, with no bare steel breaking through.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The finish covers the whole blade, from the Tanto point and the serrated spine with its hooked teeth down to the guard, in white, light grey and darker grey patches. The shapes have straight, sharp edges where the masking tape blocked the spray, giving a broken, urban camo look rather than soft blotches. The handle stays black with a fine textured surface, finger grooves and two screws, which frames the pale blade with strong contrast. On worn copies the paint goes first from the cutting edge, the tip, the spine teeth and the guard, exposing bare steel. The flat centre of the blade holds the camo longest.

The camo is complete and the tape edges are crisp across the whole blade. The cutting edge, tip and spine teeth keep their paint. In game the knife reads as a clean, pale grey blade against the black handle. This grade has a very narrow float window for this skin, so clean copies are scarcer.

What to look at before you buy
