Huntsman Knife | Black Laminate

Origin Story

The Huntsman Knife | Black Laminate was released on September 22, 2021, as part of the Operation Riptide update. This Gunsmith-style finish combines custom metalwork with other materials to create a realistic, detailed appearance. In first-person view, the stonewashed upper portion of the blade and the black laminate handle scales are prominently visible.

Drop Chance

Visual Theme

Gunsmith: It has been stonewashed and given a black laminate handle. This gives the handle a primarily dark or black appearance, contrasted with the matte, worn metal of the stonewashed blade. In first-person, the most visible elements are typically the upper portion of the blade, the spine and cutting edge near the tip, and the black laminate handle scales around the grip.

Sticker Compatibility

Knives do not have sticker slots, so sticker compatibility is not applicable in the traditional sense. However, the Huntsman Knife | Black Laminate, with its stonewashed blade and black handle, typically pairs well with black, grey, white, or other muted-color stickers on accompanying weapon skins to create a cohesive loadout.
