★ Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred much of the paint on the Nomad Knife is gone, leaving large areas of bare steel on the blade and handle. The purple survives mainly in the recessed parts of the scales, so the look becomes metal with traces of colour rather than a purple knife. It is the most affordable way to carry the Ultraviolet name, with a clearly weathered appearance.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The blade is painted a dark matte grey, with a slightly lighter bevel along the cutting edge and a darker bolster where it meets the handle. The handle scales are a saturated purple, broken up by a pivot screw, a row of small holes and contoured finger grooves.

Most of the blade is bare steel, with grey paint surviving only in scattered patches. The purple scales are heavily stripped, keeping colour mainly in recesses and around the insert. In game the knife reads as worn metal with purple accents. The textured grip insert, being dark already, shows the change least.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.8

The whole float range of ★ Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet is 0.06–0.8; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.8 segment (47% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since paint loss on this solid colour finish grows quickly as the value rises.
• Look closely at the tip, the cutting edge and the blade spine, where bare metal shows first.
• Inspect the edges of the purple scales and the area around the screws and holes for chips.
• Pattern placement does not change the colours here, so compare copies by wear rather than by seed.
