★ StatTrak™ Karambit | Scorched (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Karambit | Scorched is a curved karambit covered in a smoky spray-paint finish of pale grey, charcoal and soot-black patches. In Factory New the mottling stays crisp across the blade and the grip, so the soft cloud-like transitions between light and dark tones read as intended. This is the version for a buyer who wants the muted greyscale look with no bare metal showing.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The blade is covered in pale silver-grey paint with soft darker clouds that drift towards the spine and the base. The grip carries a darker gunmetal and charcoal tone with smoky stains spread over the finger grooves and the textured area near the guard.

The spray paint covers the whole knife with no visible scratches. The light blade and darker grip keep clear contrast, and the cloudy patches have sharp detail. In game the karambit looks evenly grey with soft smoky shading. Every edge, the ring and the spine teeth are clean.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since low-float copies of a worn grade keep noticeably more paint on the edge and tip.
• Inspect the cutting edge, blade tip and ring rim, as these lose paint first.
• Compare the light-to-dark balance of the pattern on the blade, because the smoky patches are placed differently on each copy.
• Decide whether you want the StatTrak™ version and check for a name tag before buying.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the full smoky pattern with no bare metal.
• Players who like a quiet, monochrome knife that matches almost any loadout.
• The clean choice for keeping the finish exactly as designed.
