★ Flip Knife | Blue Steel (Field-Tested)

The ★ Flip Knife | Blue Steel (Field-Tested) carries the same cold-blued Covert ★ steel look at a mid-range float. Field-Tested lands roughly in the middle of the finish's full float spread.

Design

Blue Steel's dark, blued-gray surface comes from a cold-bluing treatment rather than any painted graphic, giving it a restrained, almost tactical look. The flavor text "This is the malbec of weapon design" plays into that understated identity.

★ Flip Knife | Blue Steel (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

With a full 0.00–1.00 float range behind it, Field-Tested sits roughly in the middle, where some visible surface wear starts showing against the blued steel. It's a noticeable step down from the near-uniform look of the cleaner grades, but well short of the roughest end of the range. Field-Tested covers about 0.15–0.38 on the float scale.

Flip Knife | Blue Steel Rarity

Blue Steel holds Covert ★ rarity, the gold-tier rare special ("knife") slot that sits above every ordinary weapon grade in its cases. That rarity is fixed to the item type, not to which wear a copy lands on.

Flip Knife | Blue Steel Case and Collection

This finish spans a broad range of cases rather than one collection — the CS:GO Weapon Case and Revolver Case are two of the better-known ones among a much longer list. The rare-special ("knife") pull rate sits around 0.26% throughout, which pushes most buyers toward the market instead of the case itself.

Flip Knife | Blue Steel Patterns

There's no paint seed driving variation here — the cold-blued design is fixed, so the surface looks identical across copies at the same float. Wear grade, not pattern, is what separates a Field-Tested Blue Steel from a cleaner or rougher one.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this finish is available, tracking confirmed kills permanently and carrying that number through any trade. No Souvenir edition exists, since knives are never distributed through Major-tournament souvenir packages under any case.

Flip Knife | Blue Steel Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the Blue Steel price ladder, cheaper than the two cleaner grades and pricier than the two more worn ones. As a finish, Blue Steel remains mid-tier overall among this knife's finishes. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does Blue Steel look at Field-Tested?

Some visible surface wear shows against the dark blued steel at this float, more than the cleaner grades but nowhere near the roughest end of the 0.00–1.00 range. It's a practical balance between look and price.

Does Field-Tested change the Blue Steel pattern?

No, the cold-blued design stays fixed across every wear grade, so a Field-Tested copy shows the same base look as a Factory New one, just with more surface aging layered on top.

Is Field-Tested worth choosing over a cleaner grade?

If you want the look for less than the top grades cost, Field-Tested is a reasonable pick — the blued surface still reads clearly, just with a bit more visible wear. It's a fair trade-off for a mid-tier finish like this one.
