What the ★ Karambit | Bright Water looks like in Field-Tested

Blue camouflage in three shades lies on the blade: dark indigo, saturated blue and gray-blue. The handle is dark, with blue raised inlays, and the ring is colored like the blade. According to Valve's text, the knife is painted in blue camouflage by hydrographics.

Field-Tested is the middle of the scale: the paint is already rubbed on the edge and along the ribs, but the camouflage still reads as a whole. The float number is fixed at drop and does not grow.
