★ Navaja Knife | Night Stripe (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Navaja Knife | Night Stripe is a Navaja folding knife covered in a muted slate-blue spray coat with soft diagonal bands of lighter and darker grey. The bands come from a tape-mask technique, so the look is subdued and military rather than bright. In Factory New the paint lies evenly over the blade and handle, and the stripes keep their soft, slightly blurred edges.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade is painted dark grey-blue with broad, softly blurred diagonal stripes of lighter grey running across its flat. The bolster with its pivot screw and the long curved handle carry the same slate tone, with the stripes continuing at an angle along the scales toward the rounded end. The palette stays cold and low-contrast, without any bright accents. On worn copies the paint goes first along the cutting edge and tip, then on the blade spine, the bolster edges and the raised end of the handle, exposing bright steel underneath.

The paint covers the blade, bolster and handle evenly, and the diagonal stripes stay soft and continuous. At most, a few tiny bright points can appear along the very cutting edge. In game the knife reads as a uniform cool grey-blue with gentle banding. Because this finish starts at the upper limit of Factory New, all copies in this grade look close to each other.
