★ Shadow Daggers | Black Laminate (Field-Tested)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Black Laminate (Field-Tested) puts the same stonewashed steel and black laminate handle on both Covert ★ blades at a mid-range float. Field-Tested shows more handling than the cleaner grades but the dark, muted look still holds up well.

Design

Both blades get the same treatment here — stonewashed steel with a black laminate handle, no painted graphics or decals involved, consistent across every copy of the finish. It carries Covert ★ status, the rare-special ("knife") tier above a standard weapon rarity.

★ Shadow Daggers | Black Laminate (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested falls in the middle stretch of the finish's 0.00–1.00 float scale, roughly 0.15–0.38, carrying visibly more surface wear than Minimal Wear without looking heavily battered. The stonewashed texture picks up a bit more grain here, which actually blends naturally with the finish's already-worn aesthetic.

Shadow Daggers Black Laminate Rarity

This is a Covert ★ finish, the rare-special ("knife") slot rather than a regular weapon-grade Covert skin — the scarcity comes from pulling the knife category itself, independent of wear or float.

Shadow Daggers Black Laminate Case and Collection

Black Laminate drops from two named boxes, the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case, rather than belonging to one collection. The rare-special tier lands around 0.26% of case openings overall, so a good share of copies get traded on the market rather than unboxed fresh.

Shadow Daggers Black Laminate Patterns

There's no seed variation to look for on Black Laminate — the stonewashed steel and handle look identical on every copy regardless of paint seed. Wear grade, not pattern, is what actually shifts the appearance here.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this pair tracks confirmed kills permanently, carrying that tally through any future trade. Souvenir copies were never produced, as knives are excluded from Major-tournament souvenir packages entirely.

Shadow Daggers Black Laminate Price

Field-Tested lands in the middle of the Black Laminate's price ladder, cheaper than Factory New and Minimal Wear but ahead of the two most-worn grades. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does Field-Tested look on Black Laminate?

It covers roughly the 0.15–0.38 float band, so there's more visible surface texture than Minimal Wear, though the stonewashed look already leans rugged so the extra wear blends in naturally. It's a solid middle-ground pick for buyers who don't need Factory New pricing.

What case is the Black Laminate finish pulled from?

It comes from the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case rather than a single collection. That two-case spread is part of why float and price vary between listings even within the same wear grade.

Does wear change the design on Black Laminate?

No — the stonewashing and handle treatment are fixed, so the layout stays identical from Factory New through Battle-Scarred. Wear only affects surface texture and clarity, not the underlying design itself.
