★ Shadow Daggers | Freehand (Field-Tested)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Freehand (Field-Tested, FT) carries the same black-and-purple paint job and
metallic marker detailing as every other copy of this finish, just at a more mid-range condition.
Field-Tested is the middle of the finish's five wear grades, the point where light wear starts to
show without dulling the design.

Design

The pair leans on a freehand black-and-purple paint job finished off with metallic marker
strokes instead of a single fixed graphic. That layout doesn't shift between copies — Freehand has
no seed-based variation, so appearance differences come entirely from wear and float.

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

The finish tops out at a capped 0.48 float rather than the usual 1.00, so nothing on this knife
ever reaches extreme wear. Field-Tested spans roughly 0.15–0.38 of that range, putting some visible
mileage into the paint without dragging it anywhere near rough.

Shadow Daggers | Freehand Rarity

Covert ★ rarity applies here just as it does across every wear grade of this finish — it's the
gold-tier "knife" pull, ranked above the standard weapon skins found in the same cases. Wear grade
has no bearing on that rarity tier.

Shadow Daggers | Freehand Case and Collection

This finish spans two cases rather than one collection: the Operation Riptide Case and the
Dreams & Nightmares Case. Each gives roughly a 0.26% shot at the rare-special ("knife") tier, which
is why most Field-Tested copies get bought on the market instead of pulled fresh.

Shadow Daggers | Freehand Patterns

No pattern chase exists on Freehand — the design is fixed across every copy, so the paint-seed
index behind a given item makes no visual difference. What you see at Field-Tested is the same
black-and-purple, metallic-marker layout as any other copy, just with this grade's wear applied.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this knife exists too, tracking confirmed kills for good once equipped.
No Souvenir version was ever produced, since Major-tournament souvenir packages never include
knives, whatever the case or finish.

Shadow Daggers | Freehand Price

Field-Tested lands further down this finish's own price ladder than Factory New (FN) or Minimal Wear (MW),
keeping Freehand's status as the most accessible way into this knife intact. It's still a genuine
premium item overall — every knife carries real value — just the more budget-conscious grade of a
budget-friendly finish. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Field-Tested wear look bad on the Freehand?

Not really. Since the finish caps out at 0.48 float instead of the usual 1.00, Field-Tested here
lands closer to the middle of the actual range than the name suggests, and the black-and-purple
paint still reads clearly. It's a noticeable but not distracting step down from the cleaner grades.

Why choose Field-Tested over Minimal Wear on this finish?

Mostly price. Field-Tested trades at a lower point on Freehand's own ladder than the cleaner
grades above it, and since the design is fixed rather than pattern-dependent, buyers aren't giving
up any unique look by picking the cheaper option.

Can you get StatTrak on a Field-Tested Freehand?

Yes — StatTrak™ is available across every wear grade of this finish, including Field-Tested, and
tracks confirmed kills permanently from the moment it's equipped. There's no Souvenir version at
any grade, since knives never enter Major souvenir packages.
