★ Survival Knife | Case Hardened (Field-Tested)

The ★ Survival Knife | Case Hardened in Field-Tested (FT) has a steel blade with colorful heat tint and a black handle. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The finish is found in the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. The scale runs from 0.00 to 1.00, and this wear gets the band 0.15 to 0.38, a little under a quarter of it.

What the ★ Survival Knife | Case Hardened looks like in Field-Tested

Mottled heat tint lies across the steel of the blade in blue, purple, pink and golden-yellow swirls. Valve explains the technique: the steel is hardened with charcoal at high temperature. The edge is serrated, the tip has a hook, and an elongated oval is cut through the blade. The handle is black, with ribbed scales.

In Field-Tested, wear is already readable on the steel. It is fixed at the drop, so a copy does not change after you buy it.

Where the ★ Survival Knife | Case Hardened came from

The model debuted on November 19, 2019, with Operation Shattered Web, and Valve named the survival knife among the new knives. On this model the Case Hardened finish drops from the Shattered Web Case, and the Fracture Case became a second source.

What to check before buying

Listings of the ★ Survival Knife | Case Hardened differ in these respects:

• float: look for the knife by the number rather than the wear label, because the band 0.15 to 0.38 is wide;


• name tag: you can put one on a survival knife, and the text is kept after the purchase.
