How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade is anodized in a bright yellow-orange tone with darker orange tiger stripes etched diagonally across its flat, while the cutting edge shows a thin strip of polished bare steel. The same striped colour continues onto the guard area near the pivot. The handle frame is light grey metal with a round pivot screw and a row of small holes, and its rear part carries a black textured composite insert. An orange liner shows along the lower edge of the handle and at the butt, tying the grip to the blade colour. On worn copies the first marks appear at the blade tip, the spine and the raised edges of the guard.

The anodized blade is fully intact, with an even gold tone and sharp stripe outlines. The tip, spine and guard edges show no visible marks. In game the knife reads as a solid bright yellow shape with clear orange striping. The handle frame and black insert look clean and uniform.
