★ Karambit | Scorched (Field-Tested)

The ★ Karambit | Scorched in Field-Tested (FT) sits near the bottom of the price range among Covert Karambit finishes, though above Forest DDPAT and Safari Mesh. It is Covert rank with the ★ mark, and it drops from eleven cases. In CS2 it is a pale, mottled Karambit on a dark handle.

What the ★ Karambit | Scorched looks like in Field-Tested

The blade is light gray, with small light and dark flecks across the whole surface: Valve describes the paint with the word sun-dappled, meaning patches of sunlight. The handle is graphite, with ridging and three finger bumps, and the ring at the end is dark as well. There is no color here; the whole finish rests on gray and steel tones.

This wear of the ★ Karambit | Scorched has a float of 0.15 to 0.38. The wear is fixed when the knife drops and does not grow with time.

Phase and pattern

The pattern on the ★ Karambit | Scorched is not randomized, so every copy is the same. You choose by float and by price, not by pattern index.

What to check before buying

When picking a ★ Karambit | Scorched, look at the following:

• float: search the ★ Karambit | Scorched by the number rather than the wear label, because the 0.15 to 0.38 band is wide;


• applied name: the knife accepts a name tag;


• version: a StatTrak lot is a different catalog item.

Getting the ★ Karambit | Scorched

The finish drops from eleven cases, among them the CS:GO Weapon Case, the eSports 2013 Case, the Operation Bravo Case and the Operation Phoenix Case; the wear you get is random. A second route is a craft: it takes five Covert skins of one type (regular and StatTrak are not mixed). What it yields is a random rare special item. The game decides the model and the finish.

Is there a StatTrak version

The game does include a StatTrak version of the ★ Karambit | Scorched.
