★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife

The ★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife without a skin is a Classic Knife with a kill counter in CS2. There is no skin on it, and the lot description reads "Not Painted". Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The item has no wear, float or pattern.

What the ★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife looks like

The blade is wide and gray-blue, with sandy swirls. Small teeth are cut into the spine by the guard, and a bright edge runs along the cutting side. The swirls are built into the model and do not count as a skin.

The guard is dark and curved, with a plate of light metal set in beside it. The handle is black, with a fine diamond relief and a loop at the butt.

How the plain ★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife differs from a skinned one

You do not buy the skin here, and the counter is what remains:

• there is no wear name, so there is neither wear nor float;


• the pattern is not drawn: the swirls on the blade are the same on every copy;


• you can put a name tag on it, and the name stays;


• there are no stickers.

The only thing to check on a lot is the counter reading.

What the ★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife costs

Among the Classic Knife's skins, the counter version by starting "from" price ranks highest: twelve skins are cheaper, and none is more expensive.

Closest to it is Fade, the model's priciest skin, which trails by just a few percent. Slaughter is one and a half times cheaper, and Crimson Web costs almost half as much.

The plain ★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife

The plain Classic Knife with no skin is a separate listing on its own page. It is cheaper than the counter version by about a third. The two lots differ in nothing else.

Getting the ★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife

The counter version drops from the CS20 Case, the only case for this model. The unpainted knife sits in the rare special item pool beside the skins, so you cannot pick it when opening a case.

A trade-up contract is another route: five Covert StatTrak™ skins turn into one rare special item, and they cannot be mixed with normal ones. You can buy a ready-made lot on LIS-SKINS.

Who it suits

The ★ StatTrak™ Classic Knife without a skin is a fit if:

• you want a Classic Knife with a kill counter;


• you like the sandy swirls on the blade without a separate skin;


• you want a lot with no float, where the counter is the only thing to check.
