★ Karambit | Lore (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Karambit | Lore (Battle-Scarred) is the roughest grade of this Covert ★ knife finish, though a float cap keeps that wear milder than an uncapped knife ever reaches. The custom knotwork pattern is still fully identifiable under the added scuffing.

Design

The knotwork artwork stays identical to every other copy of this finish, since it's a fixed design rather than a paint-seed effect — surface wear is the only thing that changes here. This finish carries no flavor text quote.

★ Karambit | Lore (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

This finish is capped between 0.00 and 0.65 float, so Battle-Scarred here never reaches the extreme battered look a full-range 1.00-float knife finish can hit — the worst this finish gets is noticeably milder than an uncapped skin carrying the same wear name. It still sits at the top of that capped range, with visible scuffing and edge wear layered over the knotwork. Battle-Scarred occupies the 0.45–0.65 float band.

Karambit | Lore Rarity

This remains a Covert ★ item at every wear grade — the rare special ("knife") tier, the top drop a case can offer above any standard weapon rarity. Battle-Scarred changes the surface condition only, not the rarity itself.

Karambit | Lore Case and Collection

This finish is limited to the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case rather than a wide spread of boxes. The rare-special tier holds at roughly 0.26% per opening across both, which is why most players buy in directly instead of chasing a drop.

Karambit Lore Patterns

Even at this wear grade, the fixed knotwork design means the paint seed changes nothing about the artwork — every copy is painted the same way. There's no pattern or blue-gem tier to hunt on this finish; wear and float alone separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and tracks confirmed kills permanently, regardless of wear grade. No Souvenir version was ever made, since knives simply aren't included in Major-tournament souvenir packages under any case.

Karambit | Lore Price

Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom of this finish's price ladder, landing toward the lower end of the mid-tier range among this knife's own finishes — still a premium item, just the more accessible end of this particular lineup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred on the Karambit Lore extremely worn?

Less than you'd expect. Since this finish is float-capped at 0.65 instead of the usual 1.00, even Battle-Scarred stays milder than an uncapped knife finish at the same wear name — clear scuffing is visible, but it never reaches the most battered look possible.

What's the cheapest way to get a Karambit Lore?

Battle-Scarred is the most accessible grade of this finish, pricing in below every cleaner wear. It still sits in the mid-tier range among this knife's own finishes and remains a genuinely premium item.

Does the knotwork pattern change at Battle-Scarred?

No. The design is fixed, so the knotwork artwork looks identical to every other copy of this finish regardless of wear or paint seed — only the surface scuffing differs at this grade.
