Paracord Knife | Damascus Steel

Origin Story

The Paracord Knife | Damascus Steel, released on April 3, 2025, with the Spring Forward update, features a blade forged from two distinct types of carbon steel. This construction creates a layered, patterned look, mimicking real-world Damascus steel. The knife's design emphasizes a strong, utilitarian aesthetic, reflecting the flavor text, "Finally, a weapon strong enough to match your resolve." Its visual identity focuses on the intricate, wavy patterns of the blade, which are prominently displayed during inspection.

Drop Chance

Paracord Knife | Damascus 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.

Sticker Compatibility

As a knife, the Paracord Knife | Damascus Steel does not have sticker slots, so sticker compatibility focuses on coordinating with other weapons in a player's inventory. Its silver and grey base with subtle patterns makes it suitable for neutral, white, black, grey, and metallic stickers to maintain a cohesive loadout. It also pairs well with blue or dark-themed stickers, such as esports team holos, for a subdued, tactical aesthetic.
