★ StatTrak™ Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet pairs a dark grey blade with a deep purple handle and a textured dark insert at the rear of the grip. In Factory New the purple scales read as one even, saturated colour, and the blade keeps a uniform matte grey tone up to the edge. This is the grade for buyers who want the two-tone contrast exactly as designed.

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

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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 painted a dark matte grey, with a slightly lighter bevel along the cutting edge and a darker bolster where it meets the handle. The handle scales are a saturated purple, broken up by a pivot screw, a row of small holes and contoured finger grooves.

The purple scales and grey blade are fully painted with no exposed metal. The float range does not start at the very bottom, so even the cleanest copies sit slightly above a perfect value, but at this grade that is not visible. In game the knife reads as two clean, even blocks of colour. The tip, edge and handle contours all look untouched.

Factory New wear: float 0.06–0.07

The float of ★ StatTrak™ Nomad Knife | Ultraviolet ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Factory New quality covers 0.06–0.07 — 1% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

It is the rare special item of Fever Case — knives and gloves drop far less often than the regular contents.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since paint loss on this solid colour finish grows quickly as the value rises.
• Look closely at the tip, the cutting edge and the blade spine, where bare metal shows first.
• Inspect the edges of the purple scales and the area around the screws and holes for chips.
• Pattern placement does not change the colours here, so compare copies by wear rather than by seed.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the purple and grey scheme with no exposed metal.
• Players who inspect their knife often and notice small chips.
• Conclusion: the grade for an unbroken colour finish.
