★ Nomad Knife | Night Stripe (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Night Stripe is a low-contrast stripe camouflage in blue-grey tones sprayed over the Nomad Knife. In Battle-Scarred large areas of paint are gone, and the blade reads mostly as scratched steel with patches of the dark pattern left. It is the most affordable way to carry this knife model with a rough, heavily used 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.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The broad blade is coated in a pale slate blue with wide diagonal bands of darker navy grey running across it, and the unpainted cutting edge forms a thin bright line along the belly. The bolster and pivot area take the same blue-grey tone, with the dark stripes continuing over the handle frame and its row of holes.

Most of the blade shows scratched bare steel, with only patches of the blue-grey stripes left toward the centre and the bolster. The handle frame is heavily scuffed along all raised edges. In game the knife reads as worn metal with traces of dark camouflage. The grip insert and the deeper recesses keep the last solid areas of paint.

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since low and high floats of the same wear look noticeably different on this spray-paint finish.
• Inspect the tip, the cutting edge and the spine, because these areas lose paint first.
• Look at how the dark stripes fall across the blade, as the pattern placement changes from copy to copy.
• Confirm whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.
