★ Falchion Knife | Black Laminate (Field-Tested)

The ★ Falchion Knife | Black Laminate in Field-Tested (FT) is a curved falchion with a striped laminate handle. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. In CS2 it drops from the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case. The finish exists in all five wears, and the float scale runs from 0.00 to 1.00. Field-Tested takes 0.15 to 0.38 of it, which is 23% of the scale.

What the ★ Falchion Knife | Black Laminate looks like in Field-Tested

Valve calls the falchion a modern tribute to an old sword with a curved edge. It writes that the blade went through stonewashed treatment while the handle got black laminate. The blade is steel-gray with a mottled texture. The handle scale is layered, in black and cream stripes, and the frame around it is dark.

The span of this wear holds both 0.15 and 0.38, and listings at those two ends look different. Wear settles first on the point and the spine of the blade.
