★ Shadow Daggers | Lore (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Lore in Battle-Scarred (BS) are a pair of CS2 push daggers with golden blades and a woven ornament along the edges. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The Lore daggers drop from the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case. The finish's float is full, 0.00 to 1.00, which gives it five wears, and Battle-Scarred takes the stretch from 0.45 to 1.00, or 55 percent of the scale.

What the ★ Shadow Daggers | Lore look like in Battle-Scarred

On the yellow-gold field of each blade, a strip of woven cream knots runs along both edges. The frame handles are golden and darken toward the tips to a bronze-orange. Valve describes the design as painted knotwork.

Wear marks settle first on the points and on the raised edges of the frames. In Battle-Scarred they stand out against the golden base, and the pair stays in the condition in which it dropped.

Where the ★ Shadow Daggers | Lore came from

The finish came as part of the Operation Riptide Case: Valve announced the operation on September 22, 2021. It then moved into the Dreams & Nightmares Case, which came out on January 21, 2022.

What to check before buying

Choosing a particular ★ Shadow Daggers | Lore rests on these points:

• The wear in the lot title: the finish's five wears are separate products, and Battle-Scarred is the lowest of them.


• Name tag: allowed on shadow daggers, and the inscription stays after purchase.


• Version: a StatTrak pair is sold apart from the regular one.

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Lore are one and the same design on every copy, and rare examples do not exist. Look for the number, not the wear label: the 0.45 to 1.00 band is wide.

Getting the ★ Shadow Daggers | Lore

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the Shadow Daggers | Lore exists in the game.
