★ Survival Knife | Urban Masked (Field-Tested)

The ★ Survival Knife | Urban Masked in Field-Tested (FT) is a light gray-white camouflage on the tactical CS2 survival knife with its gutting hook. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. Its sources are the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. The float scale runs from 0.06 to 0.80 over five wears, and Field-Tested covers 0.23 of that 0.74.

What the ★ Survival Knife | Urban Masked looks like in Field-Tested

The tanto blade is covered in light gray and whitish smears, as if someone had run tape over the metal and painted on top. The cloud-like patches merge with no clear outline. The handle is the same pale gray-white, with ribs and bolts on it. On the blade, a finger notch, a serrated edge and a hook near the tip stand out. Valve's explanation is that the paint was sprayed through a wad of masking tape serving as a stencil.

Marks gather first on the tip of the blade and on the raised ribs of the handle: the paint there rubs away earliest and lays bare the steel. Wear is fixed at the drop, so a copy at 0.15 keeps that float for good.

What to check before buying

When you choose a listing, these things matter:

• float: both 0.15 and 0.38 fit inside this wear, and such listings look different;


• pattern: this finish has no pattern variants, so there is nothing to choose by;


• the name on the blade: a name tag can be applied, but the knife has no sticker slots;


• the wear in the listing title: Factory New and the other wears are separate items.

What the ★ Survival Knife | Urban Masked costs in Field-Tested

The ladder by wear is steep at the top. Factory New costs 3 times as much and Minimal Wear 1.38 times. Well-Worn is 10 percent higher, and Battle-Scarred sits 9 percent above Field-Tested.

Above it stand Scorched, Forest DDPAT and Night Stripe, all within 4 percent, while Damascus Steel costs an eighth more. Crimson Web, Case Hardened and Slaughter crown the row.

Getting the ★ Survival Knife | Urban Masked
