★ Gut Knife | Lore (Well-Worn)

Well-Worn marks the second-roughest grade of the ★ Gut Knife | Lore (Well-Worn, WW), a Covert ★ finish whose knotwork paint job stays constant across every float. The scuffing here is heavier than Field-Tested (FT) but stops short of this finish's most beat-up end.

Design

Every Well-Worn copy shows the same custom-painted knotwork as a fresh Factory New (FN) one — the pattern itself doesn't degrade, only the surface finish around it picks up wear.

★ Gut Knife | Lore (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

On the float scale this grade runs 0.38–0.45, deep into the worn half of a finish that's capped at 0.65 overall — meaning the roughest Lore copies still fall short of the full 1.00 extreme a normal skin could reach. Scuffing and edge wear are clearly visible at this stage, though the knotwork underneath remains identifiable.

Gut Knife | Lore Rarity

The wear grade has no bearing on rarity: this is still a Covert ★ item, the rare special ("knife") slot sitting above ordinary weapon grades in whichever case it dropped from.

Gut Knife | Lore Case and Collection

Copies of this finish come from the Gamma Case or the Gamma 2 Case rather than any single collection. Both cases put the rare-special tier at around a 0.26% pull rate, so market purchases remain the practical route for most buyers.

Gut Knife | Lore Patterns

The knotwork design is locked in regardless of paint seed, so there's no pattern-hunting angle on a Well-Worn copy any more than on a Factory New one. Float is really the only lever that changes the look or the price here.

FAQ

Why doesn't Well-Worn look as rough as it sounds on this knife?

Because Lore's float is capped at 0.65 rather than the usual 1.00 ceiling, its Well-Worn grade — 0.38–0.45 on the scale — stops well short of the harshest wear a skin can show. It's worn, but not the most beat-up this finish can get.

Is Well-Worn the cheapest grade of the Gut Knife Lore?

No, Battle-Scarred sits just below it on the price ladder since it carries even more visible wear within this finish's capped range. Well-Worn is the second-most affordable grade, one step above the very bottom.

Does the pattern look different on a worn copy?

No — the knotwork artwork is fixed and identical across every copy of this finish, worn or not. What changes at Well-Worn is surface scuffing and edge wear, not the underlying design itself.
