Falchion Knife | Case Hardened

Origin Story

The Falchion Knife | Case Hardened was released on May 26, 2015, as part of the Operation Bloodhound update. Its blade is color case-hardened, a process involving the application of wood charcoal at high temperatures, which gives each knife a unique pattern and coloration. The in-game flavor text, "A little color never hurt anyone," playfully alludes to this distinctive finish. The Falchion Knife is available across all wear tiers, from Factory New to Battle-Scarred.
