★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water (Field-Tested)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water in Field-Tested (FT) are a pair of knives for CS2 in blue camouflage. They hold the Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The pair drops from the Operation Riptide Case and, later, from the Dreams & Nightmares Case. The finish has five wears, and its float scale runs from 0.00 to 0.50.

What the ★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water look like in Field-Tested

These are two short leaf-shaped blades with a lengthwise ridge. Each is covered in blue camouflage: light gray-blue patches sit beside mid-blue, dark blue and near-black ones. The handle frames are solid blue, with triangular cutouts for the fingers. Valve's description says the daggers strike as easily as a fist. Valve also attaches a weapons dealer's line to the camouflage: disguise is sometimes made so that it gets noticed.

For the ★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water the float number counts for more than the wear label: the band from 0.15 to 0.38 holds a range of looks. The points of the blades and the ribs of the frames are the first to show wear.

Where the ★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water came from

Valve introduced Operation Riptide on September 22, 2021, and the finish arrived with its case. The second case, Dreams & Nightmares, came out on January 21, 2022.

What to check before buying

Choosing a specific pair of ★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water comes down to these points. The finish has a fixed pattern, so the price does not depend on it.

• float: the band from 0.15 to 0.38 is long, so check the number before paying;


• name tag: the name stays on the daggers after a sale;


• version: a StatTrak™ listing is a separate product.

What the ★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water cost in Field-Tested

All five wears of this finish sit close together. Factory New, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred are nearly level with Field-Tested, while Minimal Wear is cheaper by roughly a twelfth.

Among the Covert finishes of the Shadow Daggers, Bright Water stands in one group with Night, Freehand and Damascus Steel. Urban Masked and Safari Mesh are only slightly cheaper. At the top of the rank, Crimson Web costs about one and a half times as much, Case Hardened double and Slaughter more than double.

Getting the ★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water

The pair drops from two cases, the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case, and the wear is random. Through a craft the pair can be had only by chance: five Covert skins turn into a rare special item with no choice of model or finish. For the exact wear, the practical choice is a listing that is already on sale.

Is there a StatTrak version

The Shadow Daggers | Bright Water have a StatTrak™ version in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Shadow Daggers | Bright Water in Field-Tested makes sense under these conditions:

• you want a pair of blue knives, and the price gap between wears is small;


• you want a fixed camouflage, identical on every copy;


• your CS2 loadout is built around blue, and the solid handle frames support the blades.
