★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel (Field-Tested)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel (Field-Tested, FT) shows the finish's cold-blued steel treatment
at a moderate level of wear. Field-Tested is the middle grade of the five this finish comes in,
where the dark, blue-tinted surface starts picking up visible mileage.

Design

Both blades are cold blued rather than painted, giving the steel a dark, faintly blue cast
instead of any applied graphic. The flavor line "This is the malbec of weapon design" sums up the
restrained, understated tone the finish goes for.

★ Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

The finish runs the full 0.00 to 1.00 float scale, and Field-Tested sits in the 0.15–0.38 band
of it — roughly the midpoint. At this grade the blued surface shows clear signs of handling without
losing its overall dark tone.

Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel Rarity

Wear grade doesn't touch the rarity here: this remains Covert ★, the rare special ("knife")
tier that sits above every regular weapon skin sharing its case, Field-Tested copies included.

Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel Case and Collection

This finish is exclusive to the Shadow Case, with no wider collection behind it. That case gives
roughly a 0.26% chance at the rare-special ("knife") tier per opening, so most Field-Tested copies
end up bought on the market rather than pulled fresh.

Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel Patterns

No pattern chase applies to Blue Steel — its cold-blued look is fixed across every copy, so the
paint-seed index makes no visual difference. Field-Tested shows that same treatment as any other
grade, just with this level of wear worked into the steel.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this knife exists at Field-Tested as well, permanently recording
confirmed kills once equipped. No Souvenir version exists for this finish at any grade, since
knives are never part of Major-tournament souvenir packages.

Shadow Daggers | Blue Steel Price

Field-Tested sits below Factory New (FN) and Minimal Wear (MW) on this finish's own price ladder, while
Blue Steel overall holds a mid-tier spot among this knife's finishes. It's still a genuine premium
item, just a more affordable rung within that mid-tier standing. It's available to buy on Skin.Land
with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Field-Tested look rough on the Blue Steel?

Not particularly. The blued surface picks up visible handling marks at this grade, but the dark
tone of the finish tends to hide wear better than a lighter paint job would. It reads as
moderately used rather than beaten up.

Why pick Field-Tested over a cleaner grade?

Mainly the price — Field-Tested costs less than Factory New or Minimal Wear on this finish's own
ladder. Since Blue Steel's design is fixed rather than pattern-driven, choosing a lower grade
doesn't cost you any unique look, just some surface polish.

Is StatTrak available at Field-Tested for this finish?

Yes, StatTrak™ is offered across every wear grade of Blue Steel, Field-Tested included, and
tracks confirmed kills permanently from the moment it's equipped. No grade of this finish comes in
a Souvenir version, since knives never enter Major souvenir packages.
