M4A1-S | Knight (Minimal Wear)

The M4A1-S | Knight (Minimal Wear) is a Classified rifle skin featuring a deep navy anodized body, ornate gold-brass inlays, and the CT emblem on its flank. It's the second and final grade of this Souvenir-era Cobblestone grail — a touch of light wear on a finish that stays richly detailed.

Design

Built on the legacy M4A1-S model, the Knight wears an Anodized Multicolored finish: gold and brass inlays modeled on engraved renaissance armor sit over a dark navy-blue metal base, with the Counter-Terrorist emblem worked into the side. Valve designed it, and it ships with a slice of in-game dialogue: "What do you mean you can't find Cocinero and Izaki? - Felix Riley, Commanding Officer."

M4A1-S | Knight (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Minimal Wear is the more worn of the two available grades, but only just — the finish is float-capped at 0.10, giving a float range of 0.00–0.10. Because that ceiling is so low, even this grade never picks up more than faint edge wear, and there's no Field-Tested or Battle-Scarred to slide down into, so the Knight never reaches the heavy scuffing a full-range skin would show. The navy base and gold inlays stay legible and saturated.

M4A1-S | Knight Rarity

Rarity: Classified. That's the pink grade — one rung below Covert and second-highest among the standard weapon tiers — and a genuinely uncommon thing to unbox.

M4A1-S | Knight Case and Collection

Part of The Cobblestone Collection, the Knight arrived with Operation Breakout in July 2014. It never came from a store-bought weapon case; instead it was a Souvenir drop from the Cobblestone Souvenir Packages tied to CS Major tournaments. Within a package the Classified tier pulls at about 3.2% (an odds figure shared across the tier), and since those Major packages stopped being handed out years ago, supply is capped — the market is where copies come from now.

M4A1-S | Knight Patterns

The Knight rolls no random pattern: its navy base, gold-brass inlays, and CT emblem are placed identically on every copy, so there's nothing like a paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt down. Aside from Souvenir status, wear and float are all that separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak edition of this skin. StatTrak counters come attached to weapons pulled from purchasable cases, whereas the Knight only ever surfaced through Major-tournament Souvenir packages — no case means no StatTrak. What does exist is the Souvenir version, dropped from the Cobblestone Souvenir Packages during CS Majors, and that tournament pedigree accounts for much of the skin's collector appeal.

M4A1-S | Knight Price

Minimal Wear is the lower of the Knight's two grades, coming in under Factory New — but "lower" is relative when the finish as a whole ranks at the very top of the M4A1-S price list. This is grail money either way, one of the most expensive and desired skins the weapon has. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear worth it over Factory New?

For most buyers, yes. Thanks to the 0.10 float cap, a Minimal Wear copy carries only faint wear and looks nearly identical to Factory New, usually for a meaningful saving. Pay up for Factory New if you want the absolute best-condition example; otherwise Minimal Wear is the smarter value on a grail-priced skin.

How worn does the Minimal Wear Knight look?

Barely worn at all. Because the finish caps at a 0.10 float, even this grade shows nothing more than light wear along the edges — the navy anodizing keeps its sheen and the gold inlays stay bright. In practice most copies read as good as flawless from typical viewing distance in-game.

Why is there no Field-Tested or Battle-Scarred Knight?

The finish is float-capped at 0.10, and the game never generates a copy above that. Field-Tested begins around 0.15 and the worn grades run higher still, so none of them can occur — Minimal Wear is as worn as the Knight ever gets.
