★ StatTrak™ Nomad Knife | Case Hardened (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The ★ Nomad Knife | Case Hardened pairs a steel-and-black handle with a blade covered in oxidised blue and gold tones. Well-Worn copies show noticeable scratches toward the edge and tip, and the colours look somewhat muted under them. The overall patina look still comes through, which suits the rugged character of this knife.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

Appearance in Well-Worn

The finish covers the blade of the Nomad Knife with a heat-tempered pattern: blue and purple patches spread from the tip, while warmer gold and beige tones gather toward the spine and the guard area. The handle keeps a polished steel-grey frame with a pivot screw and a row of small screws, and black textured composite inserts fill the grip.

Scratches cover the edge and tip more densely and reach further across the blade. The colours look muted where the wear is heavier, while the area near the spine and guard holds up better. At normal distance the pattern still reads, but the knife looks clearly used. The handle frame and inserts keep their look.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the pattern on both sides of the blade, since the amount of blue versus gold changes from copy to copy.
• Check where the float sits within the grade, because lower values keep the edge and tip cleaner.
• Inspect the cutting edge and tip closely, as these lose colour first.
• Check for a name tag if you prefer the original item name.
