★ Skeleton Knife | Damascus Steel (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This finish covers the dagger blade and ring guard in folded grey steel, leaving the taped grip dark. Because the finish range stops early, Battle-Scarred copies keep the recognisable pattern, only with clearly duller steel and more marks along the blade.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The narrow double-edged blade is covered in a flowing damascus pattern of light and dark grey wave lines, with a brighter polished bevel running along its length beside a row of small holes. The pattern continues onto the guard and the large finger ring, which keeps the same silver tone.

Wear is spread across the tip, edges, ring and a larger part of the blade, with the steel at its dullest. The pattern stays visible because the finish range does not go into heavy damage. In game the knife looks like plain grey worked metal with faint waves. The taped handle remains the cleanest part.
