★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web (Field-Tested)

The ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web in Field-Tested (FT) is a red CS2 blade with a gray web and a steel handle. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The knife drops from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. The float scale runs from 0.06 to 0.80, which gives the finish five wears, and Field-Tested is assigned the 0.15 to 0.38 band.

What the ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web looks like in Field-Tested

The blade is broad and sturdy, with a convex edge that stays bare and light. The base is red, and dark-gray threads of the web run across it. The handle is steel: gray plates with a row of round holes and a black ribbed insert, with red trim along the handle's edges. Valve writes that the design is applied as a hydrographic film and sealed with a semi-gloss lacquer.

For this wear the ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web has a float of 0.15 to 0.38. The marks are already noticeable on the tip of the blade and on the curve of the edge. Wear is set when the knife drops, so it stays as it came out.

Where the ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web came from

The Nomad is one of the four knives that Valve introduced on November 19, 2019 with Operation Shattered Web. The web finish is in the Shattered Web Case and in a second case, the Fracture Case.

Phase and pattern

The Crimson Web pattern is rolled: the pattern index decides where the web lies on the blade and how many centers it has. With one or two centers the copy is ordinary. Three or more make the knife its rarest and priciest form. The finish has no phases, and a listing's title does not pass the number of centers along, so the web is counted from the image.

What to check before buying

Before buying the ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web, check the following:

• the number of web centers: within a single wear it spreads out the prices of listings;


• the float: a number tells you more than the wear label here, because 0.15 to 0.38 covers copies that look quite unlike each other;


• the name tag: allowed on the Nomad, while stickers cannot be applied;


• the version: a StatTrak knife is listed apart from the regular one.

What the ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web costs in Field-Tested

Factory New costs almost five times as much: the scale starts at 0.06, and the wear occupies only the stretch from 0.06 to 0.07. Minimal Wear costs a third and a little more. Well-Worn is seven percent cheaper, and Battle-Scarred a tenth.

Among this knife's Covert finishes in Field-Tested, Crimson Web is third from the top by price. Slaughter is above it, at 1.5 times, and Case Hardened, by five percent. Blue Steel is five percent lower, Damascus Steel a fifth, Stained a quarter, and Ultraviolet a little over a quarter. Safari Mesh is more than twice as cheap.

Getting the ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web

The ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web drops from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case, and the wear and the number of web centers fall at random. The second route is a contract: five Covert skins of one collection trade for one rare special item, but the model and the pattern cannot be chosen. A web of the density you want is bought as a ready listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web in Field-Tested is worth it for reasons like these:

• you want a red blade beside a steel handle and would rather not pay five times as much for Factory New;


• you would like to assemble a copy by its web centers, not just by float;


• a CS2 loadout is built on red and graphite.
