★ Gut Knife | Blue Steel (Factory New)

The ★ Gut Knife | Blue Steel (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish built around a cold-blued blade, giving it a deep, dark steel-blue tone. Factory New is the cleanest of the finish's five wear grades, showing that cold-blued surface at its most even and unmarked.

Design

Blue Steel keeps the design understated: the blade is cold blued, a real gunsmithing process that darkens steel into a rich blue-black tone rather than adding paint or graphics. It carries the flavor line "This is the malbec of weapon design," a nod to how quietly refined the look is.

★ Gut Knife | Blue Steel (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish runs the full 0.00–1.00 float range, and Factory New covers the low end at roughly 0.00–0.07 — the lowest-float, crispest grade the Blue Steel comes in. At this float, the cold-blued surface reads as close to flawless as the finish gets.

Gut Knife | Blue Steel Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the gold-tier rare special ("knife") slot, ranked above every ordinary weapon grade a case can produce. That rarity is set the moment the item drops, independent of wear.

Gut Knife | Blue Steel Case and Collection

This finish isn't limited to one collection; it's one of the original knife finishes and opens from a wide range of cases, including the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Revolver Case among several others. The rare-special ("knife") tier lands around 0.26% per case opening overall, which is why most buyers pick one up on the market instead of chasing that pull.

Gut Knife | Blue Steel Patterns

Blue Steel has a fixed design — the paint-seed index doesn't affect the cold-blued look at all, so every copy comes out the same. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to chase here; wear and float are the only differences between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists, tracking confirmed kills permanently through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or finish.

FAQ

What case is the Gut Knife Blue Steel in?

It isn't locked to a single box — Blue Steel is one of the original knife finishes and has turned up in a long list of cases over the years, including the CS:GO Weapon Case and the Revolver Case. That spread is exactly why most buyers get theirs on the market instead of hunting one specific case.

Does the Gut Knife Blue Steel have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that follows the knife through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives simply never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter the case.

What are the best gloves for the Gut Knife | Blue Steel?

The cold-blued, dark steel-blue tone pairs naturally with cool-toned gloves — navy, slate gray, or black leather all sit well against it without competing for attention. Steer away from warm oranges or reds, which clash with the blade's cool undertone. For the best Gut Knife Blue Steel glove combo, keep the whole loadout in that same cool, muted range.
