What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Damascus Steel looks like in Factory New

The blade is curved and light gray, with a watery pattern of wavy layers, as on a real Damascus blade. The handles are black, and silver inserts with the same layered pattern sit in their cutouts. The latch and the pivot are dark. There are no colored spots at all: the whole knife rests on shades of gray steel and black.

In Factory New the layered pattern is intact across the whole blade and on the handle inserts. The wear was set at the drop, and the pattern on the blade does not rub off later.

Where the ★ Butterfly Knife | Damascus Steel came from

The butterfly knife itself came out in 2014, in Operation Breakout. The finish was not on it then: Damascus Steel arrived with the Spectrum Case, released on March 15, 2017, and the Spectrum 2 Case became the second case.
