The ★ Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet in Field-Tested (FT) is a skeleton knife with a graphite blade and a handle wrapped in purple tape. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. It drops from the Fever Case. The finish comes in five wears, and the float covers the stretch from 0.06 to 0.80. Field-Tested for it means floats from 0.15 to 0.38.
What the ★ Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet looks like in Field-Tested
The blade is double-edged and graphite gray, with a row of round holes at the base. A ring is cut into the guard for a finger to pass through. The handle is wrapped in overlapping purple tape, and the tang has a hole in it. Valve describes the tape as a gripping aid and the finish as parts painted solid black and purple.
There is no pattern on the blade, and wear in Field-Tested reads as pale scuffs on dark paint. The wear is set at the drop and stays as it is.
Where the ★ Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet came from
The Skeleton Knife came out on November 19, 2019, together with Operation Shattered Web. The Ultraviolet finish reached it on March 31, 2025 with the Fever Case, in which Valve announced Shattered Web knives in Chroma finishes.
What to check before buying
Picking a particular ★ Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet comes down to these points:
- the artwork repeats from listing to listing without change, so there is no choosing by pattern;
- float: inside 0.15 to 0.38 the scuffs on the dark paint differ noticeably between listings;
- name tag: an applied name on a skeleton knife comes with the listing and stays after purchase.
What the ★ Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet costs in Field-Tested
Among Covert skeleton knives, this finish stands exactly in the middle of a row of thirteen: six finishes are cheaper and six are dearer. Stained lies almost level above it, and below come Night Stripe, Scorched and Urban Masked. Case Hardened, Crimson Web and Slaughter occupy the top of the row.
Here is how the wears line up:
- Factory New costs three times as much;
- Minimal Wear costs 1.4 times as much;
- Well-Worn costs the same;
- Battle-Scarred is four percent cheaper.
Getting the ★ Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet
The Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet falls out of the Fever Case with a random wear, and no other case carries this finish. Crafting cannot order the knife: a contract of five Covert skins from one collection hands out a rare special item by lot. Buy the exact knife you want as a ready listing.
Is there a StatTrak version
A StatTrak version of the Skeleton Knife | Ultraviolet exists in the game.
Who this wear suits
Field-Tested makes sense for this skeleton knife when:
- you want a dark skeleton knife with a single purple patch on the handle;
- a black and purple CS2 loadout gets a knife to match;
- Factory New costs three times as much, and Well-Worn costs the same as this wear.
