★ StatTrak™ Stiletto Knife | Ultraviolet (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Stiletto Knife keeps its two-tone scheme of purple scales against black steel. Minimal Wear may show a few faint marks on edges, but in hand it reads almost the same as the cleanest grade. It is the usual way to get a near-clean Ultraviolet without chasing the narrow top range.

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.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The long, narrow blade is coated in a dark, almost black finish with a slight mottled tone. The bolster, the small guard quillons and the pommel cap are black, matching the blade.

Tiny scratches may appear on the tip and the guard quillons. The purple scales and the flat of the blade remain clean. At normal viewing distance the difference from Factory New is hard to spot, and close inspection is needed to find the marks.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its grade, since a low value in a worn grade keeps more paint on the edges.
• Inspect the cutting edge, tip and guard quillons, where the dark coating wears off first.
• Look at the corners of the purple scales for chips that break the solid colour.
• Confirm whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the narrowest grade.
• Owners who rarely zoom in on the blade edge during inspects.
• A sensible balance of appearance and cost.
