★ StatTrak™ Paracord Knife | Blue Steel (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

★ Paracord Knife | Blue Steel keeps its shape and paracord handle at every grade, so even the most worn copy is clearly the same knife. In Battle-Scarred the bluing is heavily scratched and greyed, with lighter bare metal showing at the edge and tip. It is the most affordable way to own this knife with a weathered, rough finish.

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.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The blade is covered in a cold-blued patina that gives it a dark blue to blue-grey tone, slightly lighter along the bevel and darker on the flat. The long slot cutout and the small holes along the spine break up the surface and catch light against the blued steel.

Dense scratches cover most of the blade, and the bluing is heavily faded toward grey. The edge, tip and spine show the most light bare steel. In game the knife reads as a rough, weathered blade with only traces of the original blue. The paracord handle remains intact and unchanged.

What to check before buying

• Look at the inspect screenshots, since the patina pattern changes how blue or how dark the blade appears.
• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, as copies near the cleaner end of a grade show fewer scratches on the edge and tip.
• Examine the tip, cutting edge and spine closely, because these parts lose the bluing first.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or carries a name tag, as both affect what you are paying for.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players looking for the lowest entry point to this knife.
