What the ★ Stiletto Knife | Case Hardened looks like in Battle-Scarred

The blade is long and narrow, and the elongated handle carries a brass button. This is an Italian stiletto with a spring blade that shoots out almost instantly when you press the catch. The finish rests on color case hardening. According to Valve, the metal is treated with charcoal at high temperature, which explains the blue and purple, golden and brown tones.

Battle-Scarred is the most worn wear, and scuffs cover a visible share of the knife's surface. The wear is dealt to the knife at the moment of the drop and never adds up later.
