★ Shadow Daggers | Rust Coat (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Rust Coat in Battle-Scarred (BS) are a pair of rusted blades in CS2, and the cheapest Shadow Daggers finish in this wear. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The knives drop from the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. In this wear the float runs from 0.45 to 1.00. The float of the whole finish starts at 0.40, so there are only two wears: Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred.

What the ★ Shadow Daggers | Rust Coat look like in Battle-Scarred

Two short blades with a crossbar and finger cutouts look like old iron. The blades and the handle frames share one color: gray-blue steel scattered with orange-brown rust spots. There is no bright color and no lettering, and a dark badge sits on the crossbar.

Valve describes them as a memento of a siege: the knives remain serviceable although the surface has rusted. The finish already depicts rusted metal, so the scuffs of Battle-Scarred do not clash with the artwork. Wear is set at the drop and stays the same afterward.
