★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web (Field-Tested)

The ★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web in Field-Tested (FT) is a red blade with a fine dark web and a finger ring, a skeleton knife for CS2. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case both carry it. All five wears of the finish sit on a float scale from 0.06 to 0.80, and this wear takes the stretch between 0.15 and 0.38.

What the ★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web looks like in Field-Tested

The blade is straight and double-edged, with a row of round holes near the base and a finger ring behind them. A fine dark web covers the red base under a semi-gloss lacquer, and Valve describes the finish as hydrographics over red paint. The handle is wrapped in dark gray tape, while the ring and the butt stay red.

In Field-Tested the wear marks are already on the tip and along the edges of the ring. Wear is set at the moment of the drop, so a skeleton knife keeps whatever marks it arrived with.

Where the ★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web came from

The Skeleton Knife arrived on November 19, 2019 with Operation Shattered Web, one of four new knives. Valve's update notes also name the Paracord Knife, the Survival Knife and the Nomad Knife. Crimson Web drops from the Shattered Web Case, and the second case that carries it is the Fracture Case.

Phase and pattern

Crimson Web varies on the skeleton knife as well: the pattern index decides where the web lies and how many centers it has. Copies with one or two centers count as ordinary, while three or more place the knife in the rarest and most expensive group. Neither a phase nor the center count appears in the listing name, so copies have to be compared by picture.

What to check before buying

Three things matter in a listing of the ★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web:

• the number of web centers in the picture, which moves the price inside a single wear;


• the name: a name tag is allowed on the skeleton knife, but it takes no stickers;


• the version: a StatTrak copy is listed as a separate item.

At the 0.15 end and at the 0.38 end of this wear, these knives do not look alike.

What the ★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web costs in Field-Tested

Factory New costs 5.45 times as much, and Minimal Wear 1.26 times as much. Well-Worn is level with Field-Tested, and Battle-Scarred is a sixth cheaper.

Among the Covert finishes of the skeleton knife in this wear, Crimson Web is second from the top: only Slaughter stands higher, by a third. Case Hardened is a sixth cheaper and Blue Steel a quarter. Damascus Steel and Stained are cheaper by three eighths or more. The bottom of the row is Safari Mesh, two and a half times cheaper.

Getting the ★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web

The skeleton knife with the web drops from the Shattered Web Case and the Fracture Case, and both the wear and the number of web centers come at random. A trade-up contract is the other route: five Covert skins give a rare special item, and its pattern cannot be chosen. The copy whose web you like has to be bought as a finished listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

A StatTrak version of the ★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Field-Tested is the right wear for the ★ Skeleton Knife | Crimson Web when:

• you want a red skeleton knife with a web, and Factory New costs more than five times as much;


• copies are chosen by web centers rather than by float alone;


• the CS2 loadout is built on red and dark gray, and the wrapped handle picks up the dark threads.
