★ Paracord Knife | Urban Masked (Field-Tested)

In Field-Tested (FT), the ★ Paracord Knife | Urban Masked is a whitish CS2 paracord with an urban camouflage on the blade. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case carry it. On a float scale from 0.06 to 0.80 across five wears, Field-Tested accounts for 0.23 of the 0.74.

What the ★ Paracord Knife | Urban Masked looks like in Field-Tested

The blade, with its tanto tip and a slot along its length, is covered in blurred light gray and white patches that merge into streaks in places. The handle wrap is pale gray-white, and the pattern does not carry onto it: the camouflage lies on the metal only. Valve describes the technique as spraying through a ball of masking tape that works like a stencil.

Scuffing starts at the tip of the blade and the raised edges, where the paint wears down to bare steel. The float is locked in when the knife drops, so a 0.15 or a 0.38 stays with it for good.

What to check before buying

A few points are worth checking on this paracord before you buy:

• float: Field-Tested stretches from 0.15 to 0.38 on this knife, and you can see that on inspection;


• pattern: two different designs do not exist for this finish;


• name tag: the knife accepts a name, and stickers cannot be applied;


• the wear in the listing title: the five wears are separate items, and the upper ones cost noticeably more.

Who this wear suits

This paracord in exactly this wear makes sense when:

• your CS2 loadout is put together in white and gray tones;


• price comes first, since Factory New costs more than three times as much, and you pick the float by number.
