★ Karambit | Crimson Web (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

★ Karambit | Crimson Web keeps its red-and-black web identity even when the finish starts to show use. In Field-Tested the blade picks up visible scratches along the edge and tip, while the web over the main surface remains clearly readable. The result looks like a knife that has been carried and used, which many owners prefer.

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 Field-Tested

The curved blade is coated in a deep red base with a black spider-web hydrographic running across its full length, finished with a semi-gloss topcoat that gives the red a slight sheen. The cutting edge shows a thin line of bright steel, and the red darkens slightly toward the tip.

Scratches become visible along the cutting edge and at the tip, with small areas of bare steel showing through. The outer rim of the ring may show light scuffing. In game the knife still reads as red with a clear web, while the worn edge is noticeable on inspect. The central part of the blade and the handle still look tidy.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The float of ★ Karambit | Crimson Web ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.38 — 31% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

What to check before buying

• Look at where the web falls on the blade, since placement varies between copies and a well-centred, clearly visible web looks best.
• Inspect the tip and cutting edge first, as that is where paint loss starts on this knife.
• Note that the Factory New range for this skin is very narrow, so compare it closely with low Minimal Wear copies.
• If you choose a StatTrak™ version, check the counter and decide whether a used kill count matters to you.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Buyers who like a knife that looks carried and used.
• A practical middle ground between look and accessibility.
