★ StatTrak™ Huntsman Knife | Safari Mesh (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Safari Mesh is a calm, low-contrast finish, and on the Huntsman the large flat blade gives the net pattern plenty of room. In Field-Tested the mesh is still clearly visible, but bare metal begins to show at the tip, along the edge and on the spine teeth. The scuffed look suits the stencilled, hand-sprayed style of the paint.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The blade is sprayed in pale khaki and sage tones with a lighter net pattern stencilled across it from mesh fencing, while brighter silvery patches sit along the edge and the spine. The serrated spine teeth, the swept belly and the angular Tanto point all carry the same camouflage.

Bare metal shows along the cutting edge, at the tip and on the spine teeth, and the khaki starts to thin out near the edge. The middle of the blade and the guard still carry a readable net pattern. In first person the camouflage is clear, with visible silvery wear at the edges. Lower floats in this grade look noticeably cleaner than higher ones.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the grade, since in the middle grades it decides how much bare metal shows along the edge.
• Look at the tip and the spine teeth on the inspect screen, as these are the first places to lose paint.
• Compare the amount of mesh left near the guard on worn copies, because that area carries the remaining camouflage.
• Check whether the knife is StatTrak™ and whether it has a name tag, as both are visible in game.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players looking for a balance between a readable pattern and cost.
