★ StatTrak™ Gut Knife | Lore (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Lore is recognisable by its gold and green palette and the knot pattern running along the spine and edge of the blade. In Field-Tested the knotwork is still readable, but the gold begins to thin at the tip, the hook and the edges, letting darker metal show through. The look becomes more aged, which fits the old-artefact theme of the design.

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

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The blade is painted gold with a band of Celtic knotwork that follows the spine from the gut hook down to the tip and runs back along the cutting edge. Darker patina spots near the spine and hook give the gold an antique look even on a clean copy.

The gold thins along the cutting edge, the tip and the hook, and scratches reach into the outer knot lines. The central knotwork is still readable. In game the blade looks used but still clearly gold. The green scales stay mostly clean, while the frame edges may show light marks.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since lower floats keep more gold on the tip and hook.
• Inspect the cutting edge and the gut hook in game, as these lose paint first.
• Look at whether the knotwork near the spine is still intact on worn copies.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag you want to keep.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who like the aged, artefact-like look of thinned gold.
• Buyers looking for a recognisable gold knife at a moderate level.
• A practical everyday option with readable artwork.
