★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Scorched (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Butterfly Knife | Scorched is a balisong spray-painted in soft blotches of charcoal black and pale sand. The colours blend into each other without hard borders, so the knife reads as smoky rather than patterned. In Factory New the paint covers the blade and both handles without breaks, and the transitions between dark and light patches stay smooth.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

The blade is covered in irregular spray blotches of charcoal black, mid grey and pale sand, with a lighter streak usually crossing the middle and darker patches near the spine and tip. Both handles carry the same palette, mostly dark with long tan streaks running along their length, and the round cut-outs break up the surface.

Factory New copies sit in a very narrow band at the bottom of the float range, so the paint is intact everywhere. The blade edge, tip and spine show no bare metal. In game the knife reads as an even smoky mix of dark and light tones. Both handles and the cut-out edges look clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since lower values keep more paint on the blade edge and tip.
• Look at how the dark and light blotches fall on the blade, as the pattern placement changes how dark or pale a copy looks.
• On worn grades inspect the blade edge, spine and handle cut-outs, where bare steel appears first.
• Check for a name tag and decide whether you want it, since it stays with the item.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the paint intact on every part of the knife.
• Players who prefer a clean, smoky look with smooth colour transitions.
• A choice for those who want this finish in its fullest condition.
