★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Scorched (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Scorched is a low-contrast spray finish, and on a balisong that constantly flips in the hand this works in its favour. In Field-Tested the blade edge and tip start to show bare steel, which fits the burnt, weathered idea of the name. The dark handles still carry most of their paint and keep the knife looking whole.

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.

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

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

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.

Field-Tested shows clear scratches along the blade edge, the tip and parts of the spine, where grey steel comes through. The handles begin to lose paint on their outer edges. In game the wear is visible on the blade during inspect but fits the burnt look of the finish. The flat faces of the handles and the middle of the blade still hold most of the paint.

What to check before buying

• 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 Field-Tested

• Players who like the burnt look and accept visible wear on the blade edge.
• Buyers looking for a Butterfly Knife that still keeps most of its paint on the handles.
• A practical middle grade for everyday use.
