★ Kukri Knife | Night Stripe (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Kukri Knife | Night Stripe is a curved Kukri blade sprayed in a night ops palette of slate blue and dark grey, crossed by thin diagonal stripes left by a tape mask. In Factory New the paint covers the blade evenly, and the stripe lines stay sharp against the silver cutting edge. This finish only goes into a narrow slice of the Factory New range, so clean copies of this grade are the least common.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

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. The handle is a dark grey-blue rubberised grip with ribbed inserts and finger grooves that match the cold tone of the blade. On worn copies the spray paint goes first at the tip, along the cutting edge and spine, and around the jimping, then spreads inward across the flat of the blade; the raised ribs of the grip also lose colour.

The spray coat is complete across the blade and the stripe lines have crisp edges. Because the float range starts just below the Minimal Wear boundary, even Factory New copies sit close to it, but no paint loss is visible in normal play. The handle ribs and grooves keep their uniform colour. In first-person view the blade reads as a clean dark surface with a silver edge.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear grade, since paint loss on this finish grows steadily from the tip and edges inward.
• Inspect the tip, cutting edge and spine on screenshots, as these areas show steel first.
• 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.
