★ StatTrak™ Paracord Knife | Case Hardened (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This Paracord Knife is recognised by its blotchy case-hardened blade, where gold, blue and rusty orange tones blend into each other. In Field-Tested the colours are still clearly visible, but the finish starts to look used, with lighter scuffed areas along the edge and the tip. It suits a buyer who wants the recognisable pattern without paying for a clean blade.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The finish covers the metal of the knife: the blade, the spine with its long cut-out slot and the small guard area. The base of the blade is a pale gold with soft yellow and cream tones, while blue and purple patches gather towards the tip and along parts of the edge, with rusty orange spots near the spine and the base.

Scuffs become visible along the edge and on the tip, and the spine starts to show grey steel in spots. The colours on the flat of the blade are still clearly readable, though they look slightly duller. In game the pattern is easy to recognise, while the worn edge is noticeable during inspection. The middle of the blade stays the cleanest part.

What to check before buying

• Look at the pattern on the actual copy, since the share of blue, gold and purple differs from one knife to another.
• Check the float position within the wear grade, because a low float keeps the edge and tip noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the tip, the cutting edge and the spine around the slot, as these lose colour first.
• Check whether the knife carries a name tag and whether it suits you.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want a recognisable case-hardened blade for everyday use.
• Buyers who prioritise the pattern over a perfect edge.
• A practical middle option for regular play.
