★ Gut Knife | Lore (Minimal Wear)

The ★ Gut Knife | Lore (Minimal Wear) carries the same custom-painted knotwork across a Covert ★ blade. Minimal Wear is the second-cleanest grade on offer, sitting just past the finish's lowest float band.

Design

Rather than a full scene, Lore's artwork is a knotwork pattern painted onto the blade — clean linework instead of a bold splash of color, and identical on every copy since the pattern itself never varies.

★ Gut Knife | Lore (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

With the finish capped at a 0.65 float, Minimal Wear covers the 0.07–0.15 band on that scale — a small step down from Factory New rather than a heavily aged look. The knotwork stays legible and mostly free of visible scuffing at this grade.

Gut Knife | Lore Rarity

This is a Covert ★ item, the rare special ("knife") tier that stands above regular weapon rarities in any case it drops from. That rarity is set by the item slot itself, not by the wear grade a copy ends up with.

Gut Knife | Lore Case and Collection

There's no single collection behind this finish — copies come from either the Gamma Case or the Gamma 2 Case. The rare-special ("knife") pull rate across those cases sits around 0.26%, so buying on the market is the more common route to owning one.

Gut Knife | Lore Patterns

Every Lore shares one fixed knotwork design; the underlying paint seed doesn't reshuffle the artwork the way it would on a marbled or fade finish. There's no seed to hunt or "best copy" pattern here — float and wear are what actually differ between listings.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish is also sold as a StatTrak™ knife, which keeps a permanent kill count that carries over through trades and sales. Souvenir copies were never made, since knives don't get included in Major-tournament souvenir drops.

Gut Knife | Lore Price

Minimal Wear runs a notch below Factory New on this finish's own ladder while still landing in the same mid-tier bracket among this knife's finishes overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How much does Minimal Wear differ from Factory New on the Lore?

Not by much visually — since the finish tops out at a 0.65 float, Minimal Wear's 0.07–0.15 band is still close to the low end of that range. The knotwork stays sharp and readable; you're mainly paying a bit less for a marginal step away from the very cleanest copies.

Is the Gut Knife Lore worth buying?

For players who like understated, detail-driven artwork over a loud color scheme, yes — it sits mid-tier in price among this knife's finishes, so it's a reasonable way into knife ownership without chasing the priciest patterns on the list.

What's the cheapest way to get a Gut Knife Lore?

Going up in float grade brings the price down within the finish's own ladder, so a more worn copy costs less than a low-float one. Buying finished on the market is also generally more practical than case-opening, given the roughly 0.26% rare-special pull rate.
