★ Gut Knife | Lore (Field-Tested)

The Gut Knife is defined by the hook cut into its spine; the working blade handles rope, webbing, and other fibrous material. For the Lore treatment, it has been custom painted with knotwork.

The treatment follows the blade curve while keeping the edge, point, and transition to the handle clearly defined. The boundary between the treated surface and working components stays clean and supports the disciplined knife shape.

The Lore design joined the Counter-Strike catalog as a distinct work with its own family of variants.

The release gave the design its own place and separated it from similar work introduced at a later date. On the Gut Knife, every Lore condition and special edition refers back to the same original design.

The rarity tier assigned to Gut Knife | Lore is Covert. Every condition inherits the same tier because rarity is attached to the design itself.

Rarity belongs to the family as a whole rather than one Gut Knife example. The tier unites the family, while edition type describes the properties of an individual variant.

The Lore treatment works with that character instead of burying the item's form beneath decoration.

On the Gut Knife, the Lore treatment uses the Custom Paint Job method, shaping the way the image meets its material and geometry. Wear conditions differ in surface preservation, while the structure of the artwork remains consistent.

Gut Knife | Lore is easy to recognize through the pairing of a familiar silhouette with a distinct surface treatment. Its identity does not depend on inspecting tiny details.

A clear visual rhythm keeps Lore from disappearing beside other finishes made for the Gut Knife. Condition adds another visible distinction: cleaner examples preserve more of the original detail, while abrasion gives the same design a rougher, quieter character.

By version type, Gut Knife | Lore appears as standard edition and StatTrak™. The Gut Knife wear range includes Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, with each condition showing different surface preservation.

No dedicated container is listed for Lore. Its available editions and conditions are still treated separately. A fair comparison needs both traits at once, since edition and condition each define a separate variant.

The official Counter-Strike release remains the source context for Lore. The release of this Gut Knife variant is not tied to a particular case, leaving its original item group as the main source context.

The context of Lore comes from both its release and the shape of the item.

The Gut Knife | Lore family includes standard edition and StatTrak™. The regular edition retains the item’s base properties; StatTrak™ adds a kill counter to the item.

Edition describes the item’s added properties, while condition concerns the surface; the two should not be treated as interchangeable. Each variant is built on the Gut Knife | Lore artwork; edition and surface preservation remain qualities of the individual item.
