★ StatTrak™ Bowie Knife | Ultraviolet (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Bowie Knife | Ultraviolet is a solid-colour finish on the sawback Bowie Knife: a dark, almost black blade and grip set against purple on the guard, pommel and grip screws. In Factory New the paint is even across every part, so the purple accents look crisp and the dark surfaces stay uniform. This grade suits a buyer who wants the two-tone scheme exactly as designed.

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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The blade is painted a dark charcoal-black from the clip point to the guard, with a lighter ground bevel along the cutting edge and the sawback teeth on the spine. The guard is solid purple, as is the cap on the pommel.

The coating is complete on the blade, guard, grip and pommel. The edge bevel and the sawback teeth keep their even dark tone without bare metal. In game the knife reads as a clean black shape with sharp purple accents. Clean copies of this grade fall within a narrow slice at the bottom of the range, so they are relatively scarce.

Factory New wear: float 0.06–0.07

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float within the wear grade, since a low value keeps the edge and spine teeth noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the cutting edge, tip and sawback teeth first, as these lose paint before anything else.
• Check the purple guard and pommel cap for chips, because they carry the skin's accent colour.
• Note whether the knife is StatTrak™ and whether it has a name tag, as both change how the item reads.
