★ Gut Knife | Lore (Field-Tested)

Field-Tested is the middle grade of the ★ Gut Knife | Lore (Field-Tested, FT), a Covert ★ finish built around a fixed knotwork paint job. It's the point on this knife's float range where the first real signs of use start to show.

Design

The knotwork pattern carried by this finish stays the same at every wear level — what changes is how much surface wear sits on top of it, not the underlying artwork, which was custom painted onto the blade rather than assembled from separate graphic layers.

★ Gut Knife | Lore (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested covers 0.15–0.38 on the float scale, comfortably past the near-mint Factory New (FN) and Minimal Wear (MW) grades but still short of this finish's 0.65 ceiling. Expect visible scuffing along the edges and flat faces of the blade, with the knotwork itself still fully readable underneath.

Gut Knife | Lore Rarity

Regardless of wear, this remains a Covert ★ drop — the rare special ("knife") slot that outranks every standard weapon rarity in the cases it comes from. Wear grade and rarity tier are entirely separate things.

Gut Knife | Lore Case and Collection

No single collection produced this finish; it comes from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case instead. Roughly 0.26% of openings across those cases land on the rare-special tier, which keeps most supply flowing through the market rather than fresh unboxes.

Gut Knife | Lore Patterns

Because the artwork is fixed, the paint seed on a Field-Tested copy makes no visual difference — every Lore looks the same design-wise. There's no pattern to chase here; float grade is the only real variable shoppers need to weigh.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this knife tracks confirmed kills for good, following the item through any future trade. Souvenir versions don't exist for it, as knives are excluded from Major-tournament souvenir packages entirely.

Gut Knife | Lore Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the Lore's price ladder, below the near-mint grades but ahead of Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred (BS), and the finish as a whole stays mid-tier among this knife's lineup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does a Field-Tested Gut Knife Lore look?

Expect noticeable scuffing along the blade's edges and flats, though the knotwork pattern itself stays clearly visible underneath. It's a middle-ground look — not as pristine as the near-mint grades, but nowhere near as rough as the Battle-Scarred end of this finish's capped range.

Does Field-Tested cost a lot less than Minimal Wear on this finish?

It does trade for less, since float grade is one of the main price drivers on a fixed-pattern finish like this. The gap isn't dramatic, but Field-Tested is a sensible pick if you want the Lore's look without paying for the very lowest floats.

Is StatTrak available on Field-Tested Gut Knife Lore?

Yes — StatTrak isn't limited to any particular wear grade, so a Field-Tested copy can carry the permanent kill counter just like any other. There's still no Souvenir option, since that's a knife-wide restriction rather than something tied to a specific float.
