★ Shadow Daggers | Damascus Steel (Field-Tested)

★ Shadow Daggers | Damascus Steel in Field-Tested (FT) is a pair of steel blades with a Damascus pattern and wide handles with cutouts. They are Covert rank, with the ★ mark, and in CS2 they drop from the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. The finish comes in five wears on a float scale from 0.00 to 0.50, and Field-Tested is assigned the band 0.15 to 0.38.

What the ★ Shadow Daggers | Damascus Steel look like in Field-Tested

Both blades are leaf-shaped, broad at the base and narrow at the point. The metal is light, and fine winding Damascus lines run across it, tighter and denser than on the long-bladed knives. The handles are T-shaped: a wide frame with several large cutouts that sits under the fist. Valve's own description says the Shadow Daggers are as easy to use as a punch.

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the scale. The wear on the pair was fixed when it dropped and does not change after purchase.

What to check before buying

Before buying the ★ Shadow Daggers | Damascus Steel, a couple of points are worth a look:

• float: the band from 0.15 to 0.38 leaves room to choose, and examples closer to 0.15 are cleaner;


• name tag: this knife takes one, and the name stays on the item after purchase.

What the ★ Shadow Daggers | Damascus Steel cost in Field-Tested

Field-Tested is the cheapest wear this finish comes in. Factory New costs one and a half times as much, Battle-Scarred thirty-seven percent more, Well-Worn twenty-one percent more and Minimal Wear 12 percent more.

Getting the ★ Shadow Daggers | Damascus Steel

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Damascus Steel come out of the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case, and the wear is decided at random when the case is opened. The second route is a trade-up contract with five Covert skins from one collection going in. The rare special item that comes out cannot be ordered by model or finish, so the pair you want is bought as a ready lot.
