★ Kukri Knife | Night Stripe (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most heavily used version of ★ Kukri Knife | Night Stripe: much of the slate paint has worn away and the blade shows a lot of bare steel. What remains of the blue-grey coat and stripes sits in patches toward the centre of the blade. It gives the knife its full model and animations with a rugged, scraped look.

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 broad curved blade is sprayed in a slate blue and dark grey night ops scheme, with thin lighter diagonal lines left where tape masked the paint. The sharpened bevel along the cutting edge stays bright steel and outlines the blade, while the spine carries jimping and a small hole near the guard.

Most of the blade is bare steel, with only scattered patches of blue-grey paint and fragments of the stripes left. The spine, tip and the area near the edge are almost fully worn. The handle keeps its dark base but its raised parts are worn through. At normal distance the knife reads as a scraped metal blade on a dark grip.

What to look at before you buy

• Check how the tape stripes fall across the blade on the specific copy, because their placement can differ between copies.
• Note whether the knife carries a name tag or StatTrak™ counter and whether that matters to you.
