★ Stiletto Knife | Ultraviolet (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Stiletto Knife | Ultraviolet pairs a dark blade and black metal parts with purple handle scales. In Factory New the purple stays even and saturated and the black parts keep a uniform coating. This grade covers only a narrow strip of the skin's float range, so the clean look is what you pay for.

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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

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. The handle scales are painted a solid purple, held by black pins and framed by a black liner along the spine of the grip. On worn copies the paint goes first from the cutting edge and tip, the guard quillons, the edges of the bolster and pommel, and the corners of the purple scales, exposing lighter bare metal underneath.

The dark blade coating is intact from tip to bolster, with no bare metal on the edge. The purple scales are smooth and evenly coloured, and the black guard and pommel have no chips. In game the knife reads as a crisp black and purple object in every inspect angle.

• Confirm whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it carries a name tag.
