★ Karambit | Autotronic (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The Karambit keeps its recognisable curved shape and dark textured grip, but in Battle-Scarred the red anodizing is heavily worn away. Large areas of bare steel break through on the spine and tip, while red patches remain closer to the guard. The knife reads as a rough, heavily used piece rather than a bright red blade.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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 deep red anodized band that follows the curve of the spine from the guard to the tip, while the lower part and cutting edge stay polished steel. Near the base of the blade sits a perforated mesh section with rows of small holes and a small marking close to the guard.

Most of the red is worn off the tip and spine, leaving bare steel with scattered red patches. Remaining colour is concentrated near the guard and around the perforated section. The handle and ring carry the most scuffing of any grade. In game the knife reads mostly metallic with red traces.

What to check before buying

• Check the tip and spine on the inspect screen, since the red anodizing wears there first.
• Compare the float position within the wear range, as copies near the cleaner end keep noticeably more red.
• Look at the border between red and steel near the guard to judge how even the remaining colour is.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ version, as it exists for this knife.
