What the ★ Survival Knife | Damascus Steel looks like in Field-Tested

The blade is light, gray-white, with distinct wavy swirls of steel. A slot runs along it, the lower edge is serrated, and a gutting hook sits on the spine near the tip. The handle is dark, gray-olive composite, and against the light blade it reads as the main contrast. According to Valve, Damascus steel is on only some of the parts.

In Field-Tested, wear marks settle on the tip and the serrated edge. The wear is fixed at the drop, and the band from 0.15 to 0.38 is long, so the copies at its ends differ noticeably.
