★ Paracord Knife | Scorched (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Paracord Knife | Scorched is a survival knife with a tanto blade covered in smoky grey and black spray paint with pale speckles. In Factory New the gradient from dark spine to lighter edge is intact, and the mottled paracord handle keeps its even grey-black tone. This skin's float range starts right at the edge of this grade, so Factory New copies sit in a very narrow band.

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.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade is sprayed in a smoky gradient: near-black along the spine and tip, fading to lighter grey with white speckles towards the cutting edge. The long slot and the cut-outs near the guard sit in the darker zone and frame the pattern. The paracord handle is painted in the same scheme, giving a mottled grey, black and off-white wrap. On worn copies the paint goes first from the tip, the cutting edge and the edges of the cut-outs, then from the flat of the blade, while the raised loops of the cord lose colour before the recesses between them.

The spray paint covers the whole blade with no visible scratches, and the dark-to-light gradient is uninterrupted. The tip and the slot edges keep full colour. The paracord wrap shows its even mottled tone. In game the knife reads as a clean, matte smoky blade.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the cleaner end of a grade keep more paint on the tip and edge.
• Inspect the tip and the cutting edge first, as these lose paint before the rest of the blade.
• Look at the area around the long slot and the cut-outs, where scuffs show early.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag, if that matters to you.

Who should buy Factory New
