★ Karambit | Scorched (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

★ Karambit | Scorched in Battle-Scarred is mostly bare steel with smoky remnants of the original paint. The soot pattern survives as scattered dark traces, giving the knife a weathered, almost raw-metal look. It is the most accessible way to carry the karambit shape with this finish.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The blade is covered in pale silver-grey paint with soft darker clouds that drift towards the spine and the base. The grip carries a darker gunmetal and charcoal tone with smoky stains spread over the finger grooves and the textured area near the guard.

Most of the blade is bare steel, with only scattered dark traces of the soot pattern. The grip, ring and spine teeth are heavily scratched and show metal across the raised surfaces. In game the karambit reads as a weathered steel knife with faint smoky stains. Remains of paint survive only in the most recessed areas.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since low-float copies of a worn grade keep noticeably more paint on the edge and tip.
• Inspect the cutting edge, blade tip and ring rim, as these lose paint first.
• Compare the light-to-dark balance of the pattern on the blade, because the smoky patches are placed differently on each copy.
• Decide whether you want the StatTrak™ version and check for a name tag before buying.
