★ Karambit | Autotronic (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Karambit | Autotronic pairs a deep red anodized blade with a polished steel edge and a dark textured handle. In Factory New the red stays saturated from spine to tip, and the line where colour meets bare steel looks crisp. This grade shows the finish closest to how it was designed.

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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

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. The handle is dark grey to black with textured grip inserts, finger grooves and jimping along the spine and underside, ending in a dark steel finger ring. On worn copies the red wears first at the tip, along the spine and on the raised edges near the guard, exposing the steel underneath. The handle edges, jimping and the outer rim of the ring pick up lighter scuffs as wear grows.

The red band is even and glossy along the whole spine, with a sharp border against the polished steel. The perforated section and the marking near the guard are clean and well defined. The handle and ring show no scuffs. In game the blade reads as a solid bright red curve.

The whole float range of ★ Karambit | Autotronic is 0–0.85; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (8% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• 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.
