★ Classic Knife | Case Hardened (Minimal Wear)

A classic of the Counter-Strike series, the edge of this knife is press-fit Stellite perfectly held in place due to its precise fit with the titanium on the blade's cheek and spine. The handle is fossilized mastodon ivory held in a carbon fibre pocket. It has been color case-hardened through the application of wood charcoal at high temperatures. A little color never hurt anyone
