Gut Knife | Blue Steel

Origin Story

The Gut Knife | Blue Steel was introduced on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update. Its finish is described as having been "cold blued," giving the blade a deep, metallic sheen. The flavor text, "This is the malbec of weapon design - Booth, Arms Dealer," suggests a refined and potent quality. This Patina finish style allows the skin to be found across all wear tiers, from Factory New to Battle-Scarred.

Drop Chance

Gut 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.
