★ Survival Knife | Night Stripe (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Survival Knife | Night Stripe is a tactical knife spray-painted in a muted night ops scheme: slate and blue-grey tones laid down through a tape mask. In Factory New the paint covers the blade and handle evenly, so the soft stripes and the cool grey surface stay intact from tip to pommel. This grade suits a buyer who wants the low-key finish exactly as intended.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The blade is painted in a dark slate blue-grey, with slightly darker and lighter stripes from the tape mask running across it and faint warmer tints near the gut hook. The serrated section stays bright, so the silver teeth stand out against the matte paint. The composite handle carries the same cool grey tone, with the hex bolts and the grip ridges painted over to match. On worn copies the paint goes first from the tip, the cutting edge, the spine, the gut hook and the serrations, then from the raised handle ridges, the bolts and the pommel.

The paint is complete on the blade, the gut hook and the handle, with no bare steel on the edges. The tape-mask stripes keep their soft, even transitions. In game the knife reads as a uniform dark grey-blue piece with bright serrations. The Factory New band is narrow for this skin, so all copies look very close to each other.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position inside the grade, since paint loss on the edges and gut hook grows noticeably within one wear.
• Look at the tip, spine and serrations in the inspect view, as these show wear first.
• Compare the handle ridges and bolts on worn copies, because some keep far more paint there than others.
• Decide whether you need StatTrak™, as both versions exist and look the same.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the paint fully intact.
• Players who prefer a quiet, uniform knife without bare metal.
• Conclusion: the cleanest version for those who value a perfect finish.
