★ StatTrak™ Flip Knife | Tiger Tooth (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Flip Knife | Tiger Tooth pairs a back-swept Flip Knife blade with a bright orange anodized finish and dark hand-etched tiger stripes. In Factory New the orange stays even from the base to the acute point, and the stripes keep sharp, clean edges. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the finish exactly as designed, with nothing to explain away on inspection.

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

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The whole blade, including the serrated section near the base, is anodized in a saturated golden orange. Dark brown tiger stripes run across the blade at an angle, wider near the spine and tapering toward the cutting edge.

The orange anodizing is uniform across the blade, with no lighter patches at the tip or along the edge. The stripes keep crisp outlines, and the serrations hold their full colour. In game the knife reads as a solid, bright orange blade with clear dark bands. The handle and its orange hardware look untouched.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies closer to the cleaner end show fewer marks on the tip.
• Inspect the acute point and the serrations up close, as the anodizing thins there first.
• Look at the first-person inspect view, where the blade is shown at the angle players see most.
• Check whether a name tag is applied and whether it suits your taste.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the anodized finish with an even colour and sharp stripes.
• Players who inspect their knife often and notice details on the blade.
• Choose Factory New if a flawless blade matters more to you than the cost difference.
