★ StatTrak™ Navaja Knife | Night Stripe (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

★ Navaja Knife | Night Stripe in Battle-Scarred keeps only traces of its grey-blue tape-mask paint, with bare steel dominating the blade. For some buyers this rough, almost unpainted look is the point: it is the most affordable way into this finish and reads as a worn tool. Patches of slate paint and faded stripes survive mainly on the handle.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The blade is painted dark grey-blue with broad, softly blurred diagonal stripes of lighter grey running across its flat. The bolster with its pivot screw and the long curved handle carry the same slate tone, with the stripes continuing at an angle along the scales toward the rounded end.

The blade is mostly bare steel with only scattered remnants of grey-blue paint. The bolster is heavily scuffed and the handle shows worn patches along its edges and end. Faded stripes survive only in parts of the handle. In game the knife reads as an almost unpainted steel tool with a dull bluish grip.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, because spray paint loses coverage on the blade quickly as the value rises.
• Look at the cutting edge and tip in the inspect view, since that is where steel shows first.
• Compare how the diagonal stripes fall on the blade and handle, as their placement shifts slightly between copies.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag, and choose according to your preference.
