Охотничий нож | Вороненая сталь

Origin Story

The Huntsman Knife | Blue Steel was released on May 1, 2014, as part of The Hunt Begins update. Its finish mimics chemically darkened steel, giving the blade a distinctive dark bluish-gray and muted indigo appearance. This classic knife is often seen as a mid-tier, older-era item, appealing to players who prefer realistic, subdued weapon designs over flashier finishes. The visual appeal of individual knives is highly float-dependent, with favorable dark and even patinas being particularly sought after by collectors.

Drop Chance

Huntsman Knife | Blue Steel is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($610.00): The blade shows deep, even dark-blue and steel coloration with minimal visible wear, and the patina is smooth and consistent. Among collectors of Blue Steel, FN is typically regarded as the premium option.
• Minimal Wear ($194.17): Still largely dark and clean, but tiny bright spots or faint lightening can appear on leading edges, the tip, and high-contact corners. Many traders consider MW the value tier, visually close to FN but often cheaper.
• Field-Tested ($154.99): The patina starts to look noticeably more uneven and lighter, especially on the central blade faces, with darker blue areas breaking up with more patchy gray regions. FT is often described as hit-or-miss, with many copies appearing too washed out.
• Well-Worn ($164.18): The dark bluing is heavily thinned, with much of the blade shifting to pale gray steel interspersed with residual blue patches, resulting in a duller and more worn appearance. Community sentiment around Blue Steel WW is typically unfavorable.
• Battle-Scarred ($177.73): The patina is very faded and patchy, and the blade can appear predominantly light gray or silver with only remnants of blue left in recesses or small islands. BS is often considered visually undesirable and is mainly bought for lowest-cost access to the model.

Sticker Compatibility

As a knife skin, the Huntsman Knife | Blue Steel does not accept stickers directly. For a cohesive loadout, its dark blue-gray and muted metallic tones pair well with blue, purple, or indigo themed stickers, as well as minimalist gray, black, or white stickers on associated weapon skins. Avoid very bright neon or lime sticker schemes if a realistic, subdued aesthetic is desired.
