★ Karambit | Bright Water (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most worn version of this blue camo karambit, with noticeable scratches and exposed steel across the blade and ring. The float range of this finish ends early, so even the worst copies keep a fair amount of blue paint on the flat of the blade. It gives the curved karambit silhouette at the most affordable grade of the skin.

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.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The curved blade is fully covered in a hydrographic camo of navy, medium blue and pale icy-blue blotches, with a thin silver cutting edge along the inner curve. The handle is a dark charcoal grip with deep finger grooves, framed by blue textured inset panels that echo the blade colour.

The blade has heavy scratching with large areas of exposed steel, especially near the tip, edge and spine. The ring is noticeably worn on its outer surface. Because the float range of this finish ends early, the camo on the blade flat is still present in patches. The dark grip keeps its colour, and the blue panels show scuffs.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since a low float keeps more paint on the tip and edge.
• Look at the tip and spine of the blade in the inspect view, where scratches appear first.
• Compare the camo placement on the blade, as the hydrographic falls slightly differently from copy to copy.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.
