★ Flip Knife | Damascus Steel (Field-Tested)

The ★ Flip Knife | Damascus Steel (Field-Tested, FT) puts this Covert ★ forged-steel finish in its
middle wear grade. The blade shows a touch more surface wear here without losing the layered steel
look that defines the finish.

Design

No painted artwork here — the blade is worked with damascus-style forged steel, rippling layers
built into the metal itself. Since Valve fixed the design, Field-Tested shows the same steel work as
every other grade, just with a bit more surface wear visible.

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

The finish is capped between 0.00 and 0.50, and Field-Tested sits roughly in the middle of that
narrow band — noticeably more used than Minimal Wear (MW) but still nowhere near as rough as a full-range
knife's mid grade. The steel texture stays legible even with the added wear. Field-Tested covers about 0.15–0.38 on the float scale.

Flip Knife | Damascus Steel Rarity

Rarity-wise this is Covert ★, the gold-tier rare special reserved for knives rather than a standard
weapon skin. Landing this item slot in the first place is the rare part, regardless of wear grade.

Flip Knife | Damascus Steel Case and Collection

The finish spans the Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, and Chroma 3 Case rather than one specific
collection. That rare-special tier pulls at about 0.26% across those cases, which is why buying on
the market beats grinding for a drop.

Flip Knife | Damascus Steel Patterns

There's no seed variation to speak of — the forged steel pattern is identical on every copy of this
finish, no matter the case or the wear. Field-Tested doesn't change the design, only how much surface
wear sits on top of it.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition exists for this finish, adding a permanent kill counter that follows the blade
through trades and sales. Souvenir copies were never made, since knives don't appear in Major
souvenir packages at all.

Flip Knife | Damascus Steel Price

Field-Tested runs cheaper than Minimal Wear and Factory New (FN) on this finish's ladder, sitting closer
to the budget end of the Flip Knife line while still counting as a premium knife item overall. It's
available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does Field-Tested look on this finish?

Since the float cap tops out at 0.50, Field-Tested shows more wear than Minimal Wear but stops well
short of the heavy damage a full-range knife can show at this grade. The forged steel pattern stays
easy to make out throughout.

Does Field-Tested change the Damascus Steel pattern?

No — the design is fixed regardless of wear grade, so a Field-Tested copy shows the exact same
forged steel layout as Factory New. Only the surface wear and price differ between grades, not the
underlying pattern.

Is Field-Tested a smart buy for this knife?

It's a reasonable middle ground — cheaper than the top two grades while the float cap keeps the
wear from ever looking rough. If price matters more than shaving off every bit of surface wear,
Field-Tested is a fair trade-off on this particular finish.
