★ Shadow Daggers | Freehand (Field-Tested)

The ★ Shadow Daggers | Freehand (Field-Tested) 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 or Minimal Wear,
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.
