★ Karambit | Crimson Web (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

In Well-Worn the Crimson Web on the ★ Karambit turns into a mix of red paint, black web and patches of bare steel. The red base is noticeably thinned along the cutting edge and belly of the blade, and the web breaks up in those areas. The silhouette, black handle and red ring keep the skin recognisable at a glance.

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.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

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.

Larger patches of bare metal spread from the edge onto the belly of the blade, and the web is broken in those zones. The red on the ring is visibly rubbed at the rim. In game the knife looks red with silver streaks rather than a clean red surface. The area near the spine and the black handle hold up best.

What to look at before you buy

• 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 should buy Well-Worn

• Players who want the karambit silhouette with a red accent on a tighter budget.
• Fans of a rough mix of paint and bare steel.
• A sensible step down for those who mainly want the knife itself.
