★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Crimson Web (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Karambit | Crimson Web pairs a deep red blade and finger ring with a black spider-web pattern on the classic claw-shaped knife. In Factory New the red is at its richest and every line of the web stays sharp under the semi-gloss topcoat. This is the grade for buyers who want the pattern exactly as the hydrographic intended.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Appearance in Factory New

The curved blade is coated in a deep red base with a black spider-web hydrographic running across its full length, finished with a semi-gloss topcoat that gives the red a slight sheen. The cutting edge shows a thin line of bright steel, and the red darkens slightly toward the tip.

The red base is uniform across the blade and ring, and the web lines are crisp from guard to tip. No scratches are visible on the edge or the tip. In game the knife reads as a solid, bright red with a clear black web even at normal distance. The handle and ring look as clean as the blade.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the web falls on the blade, since placement varies between copies and a well-centred, clearly visible web looks best.
• Inspect the tip and cutting edge first, as that is where paint loss starts on this knife.
• Note that the Factory New range for this skin is very narrow, so compare it closely with low Minimal Wear copies.
• If you choose a StatTrak™ version, check the counter and decide whether a used kill count matters to you.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the web and red base without any visible flaws.
• Players who inspect their knife often and want every detail sharp.
• The choice for a showcase copy of this finish.
