★ Huntsman Knife

The ★ Huntsman Knife without a skin is the Huntsman in CS2 with no skin on it: the listing reads "Not Painted". Covert rank, with the ★ mark. It has no wear and no float, and no pattern either; every copy is the same.

What the ★ Huntsman Knife looks like

The blade is wide and tanto-shaped: the straight top line breaks into a slanted edge down to the point. A row of large teeth runs along the spine, and a narrow fuller follows the flat. The steel is light, with a shallow factory grind.

The guard is steel, with a hole and a hook for the finger. The handle is black, with three finger grooves, fine texture and rivets. A small green dot shows near the base of the blade.

How the plain ★ Huntsman Knife differs from a skinned one

On a Huntsman Knife a skin paints the blade and hints at the price. Without one, the listing is simpler:

• there is no wear grade, so neither wear nor float is listed;


• there is no pattern or phase, so copies do not differ from each other;


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


• knives never have stickers.

What is left is a choice between the normal version and StatTrak™.

What the ★ Huntsman Knife costs

Among the Huntsman Knife's skins, the unpainted knife sits almost in the middle by starting price: sixteen skins cost less and eighteen cost more. Closest below is Crimson Web (a few percent cheaper), then Autotronic and Lore (both about a quarter cheaper).

Above it come Blue Steel (a few percent more), Tiger Tooth (a quarter more) and Case Hardened (almost a third more). At the top of the ladder, Doppler with Sapphire costs more than five times the plain knife, with Ruby eight times, with Black Pearl almost ten.

Is there a StatTrak version

There is: the ★ StatTrak™ Huntsman Knife is a separate item with its own page. The counter stays with the knife and does not reset. The version with a counter costs about two fifths more than the normal one.

Getting the ★ Huntsman Knife

The Huntsman Knife drops as a rare special item from the Huntsman Weapon Case; the model has no other cases. Bare steel sits there in the same rare special item pool as the skins, so what an opening yields is a matter of chance.

The trade-up contract is the second route: five Covert skins from one collection turn into a rare special item that the game picks itself. If you want the unpainted model specifically, a ready-made listing is what remains, and you can buy one on LIS-SKINS.

Who it suits

The ★ Huntsman Knife without a skin fits if:

• you want a knife with a dark handle and large teeth along the spine;


• you would rather not deal with float and phases;


• you do not want to pay more for a skin on this model.
