★ Paracord Knife | Blue Steel (Field-Tested)

★ Paracord Knife | Blue Steel in Field-Tested (FT): a dark blue-steel blade and a handle wrapped in cord. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. In CS2 this paracord knife is pulled from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case. The float scale runs from 0.00 to 1.00 across five wears, and Field-Tested takes up less than a quarter of that length.

What the ★ Paracord Knife | Blue Steel looks like in Field-Tested

The blade is straight, with a slanted cut at the end, filled with a dark blue-black color that throws a blue sheen in the light. A long groove is cut along the flat of the blade. The grip is wrapped tightly in gray-beige cord, with an eyelet at the end. Valve calls the finish blued: the steel is treated by a cold method.

The point and the edge of the slanted cut suffer first. For Field-Tested, marks there are customary, and the wear does not change once the knife has dropped.

What to check before buying

What sets one listing of this paracord knife apart from another comes down to these things:

• float: the gap between 0.15 and 0.38 is wide enough to be worth comparing several listings;


• applied name: the paracord knife takes a name tag, and has no stickers;


• the wear in the title: Factory New (FN) costs more than twice as much, and Well-Worn (WW) is level.

What the ★ Paracord Knife | Blue Steel costs in Field-Tested

Minimal Wear (MW) costs 15% more, and Factory New more than twice as much. Well-Worn is level with Field-Tested, and Battle-Scarred (BS) is about 4% cheaper.

Among Covert paracord knives, this finish is fourth from the top by price. Case Hardened, Crimson Web and Slaughter stand above it, and Stained below. The least expensive finishes of the model are Scorched, Safari Mesh and Forest DDPAT.

Getting the ★ Paracord Knife | Blue Steel

The Blue Steel paracord knife drops from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case, and wear comes at random. The contract remains: five Covert skins from one collection are turned into a single rare special item, though neither model nor finish can be set there.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak™ version of the ★ Paracord Knife | Blue Steel exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Three situations make Field-Tested the right wear for this paracord knife:

• you want a dark blade with a blue sheen and a light wrap on the handle;


• the price should sit below Minimal Wear and Factory New, and you pick the float by hand;


• your CS2 loadout is assembled from dark steel and gray tones.
