★ Gut Knife | Case Hardened (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Gut Knife | Case Hardened was introduced in Counter-Strike 2 as part of the “Arms Deal” collection, showcasing a distinct, heat-treated steel look. This skin is created through a process that produces an array of vibrant blue, gold, and purple hues, resulting in a unique, iridescent finish. Each Case Hardened skin is slightly different due to this treatment, making every knife a one-of-a-kind item with its own blend of colors. The pattern’s randomness adds to its collectible appeal, as players seek specific color distributions, known as “patterns.” This skin provides a raw, industrial aesthetic with a mix of metallic tones, giving the knife a rugged yet colorful appearance. While purely cosmetic, the ★ Gut Knife | Case Hardened adds a bold, eye-catching option within Counter-Strike 2, appealing to players who value individuality in their loadout with a distinct, heat-tempered look.
