The blade is gray steel, with brown streaks near the base and in the middle. The handle is the color of rust, from orange-brown to dark brown, with black side edges and round rivets. The metal plate at the bottom is lighter than the handle and scratched.

The rust is part of the finish itself: Valve writes that the knife stays serviceable even though the outer surfaces have rusted. The wear on the ★ Stiletto Knife | Rust Coat is fixed when it drops and does not change after purchase.

What to check before buying

What sets one ★ Stiletto Knife | Rust Coat listing apart from another:

• the wear in the listing name: Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred are sold as separate products, and the finish has no other wears;


• name tag: one on the handle is allowed and stays on the knife after purchase.

This wear gives the ★ Stiletto Knife | Rust Coat a float of 0.45 to 1.00. Between 0.45 and 1.00 there is a difference worth comparing several listings for.
